Although your evolution may be statistically improbable, mostly at the
biochemical level, there's no reason that the rest of the world should show
any statistical strangeness. After all, your present existence is also
extremely improbable.
But the rest of the world does show statistical strangeness, for
example the apparent fine-tuning of the cosmological constant for life
to be possible.
Whether the CC is fine-tuned or not is far from established. Vic
Stenger noted that the holographic principle drastically reduces the
vacuum degrees of freedom and produces a CC estimate that's in the ball
park. Of course being consistent with life could just be a
self-selection effect and it should not cause other statistics, e.g.
vital statistics, to be strange.
