Interesting hypothesis from an anonymous onanist:
If biological evolution happened exactly as fast as one would statistically predict, the multiverse interpretation of quantum theory is almost certainly false. If biological evolution happened significantly faster than one would statistically predict, the quantum multiverse theory is almost certainly true.

In our day-to-day lives, multiverse interpretation might not be falsifiable, because you cannot make a distinction between hidden variables, true randomness and just finding yourself constantly in one of the "typical"/"most likely" timelines.

However, you must exist in a universe that creates observers in the first place. And there is a good reason to think such a universe would be somewhere in the "less-likely" percentile of the probability wave evolution.
Biological evolution is probably highly dependent on quantum effects, and chaos theory effects that follow.

If you can show that life on earth was just "too lucky" in a consistent manner, you can deduce it's because failed on other earths. If not, you could perhaps make a reverse deduction - why are you not in a universe where it would emerge faster?
