Simple answer no if the Milky Way did not exist there would be no human race.
We are part of the Milky Way galaxy in the most fundamental ways. We live here. We evolved here. Every element that goes up to make the Earth and you except hydrogen and most of the helium comes from stars that lived and died billions of years ago within the Milky Way. We owe our entire existence to the Milky Way.
It is absolutely probable that life has arisen in far off galaxies. They might even look remarkably like humans although that is very doubtful but still they will not be humans.

If civilization lived on a planet in an E0 galaxy do you think they would have a Milky Way in the sky?
It's doubtful if a civilization could still exist within an elliptical galaxy due to the age of the stars. If they could, then the sky would have a slight red tinge, nothing like the Milky Way.
If the Sun and Earth were at the edge of the disk of the Milky Way Galaxy what would be the diameter of the galaxy in light years?
It wouldn't matter where the Sun was, the Milky Way Galaxy would still have a diameter of around 100,000 light years.
Does the Milky Way Galaxy have a function?
No. I can state unequivocally and without fear of contradiction that is has no function at all. It's just there.On the other hand, it does happen to be the environment in which our sun came to become a star, and the sun, in turn,furnished the environment in which the earth formed and eventually came to host life.That's not to say that the 'function' of the Milky Way Galaxy is to furnish a large-scale platform in which theconditions necessary to the existence of human life on earth can exist . . . that would be too spooky.For that matter, I'm not even sure what the function of human life on earth is, or if it even has one. But if it has, andyou can explain what it is, then maybe that's not too different from whatever the function of the Milky Way Galaxy is.
What type of galaxy is your system in?
Our solar system is located inside the Milky Way galaxy about midway between the galaxy's edge and its center.our solar system is in one of the spiral arms of our galaxy. This is where most healthy young stars are, as opposed to the aging red giants nearer to the dense core of the Milky Way Galaxy. Nothing is particularly special about our position in space, besides the fact that it is an area of new star formation.if you want a picture then see the related link.
Where is the nerest black hole to ear?
That would be the one at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, about 27,000 light years from our sun.
What galaxy is your sun in?
That would be the Milky Way Galaxy.
How would you classify the Milky Way galaxy?
A spiral galaxy
Which is the nearest galaxy to your milky way galaxy?
I believe that would be M31.

How many days would it take to get to the milky way?
We are in the Milky Way galaxy.
Can humans reach galaxy?
It's very easy to reach one galaxy ... the "Milky Way" ... because we are in it.No human can reach any other galaxy, because the trip would last longer thanhumans live.
How would you describe the Milky Way galaxy and our place in it?
its a spiral galaxy and the earth is so far the only planet in the milky way where we know we can live

It wouldn't matter where the Sun was, the Milky Way Galaxy would still have a diameter of around 100,000 light years.
Would the distance between the Milky Way to the next nearest galaxy be the lenght of a light year?
The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is currently considered to be the closest galaxy to the Milky Way. It is 25,000 light years from our solar system and 42,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way. Its status as a galaxy is still disputed in some scientific circles. If the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy loses its galaxy status, then the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy would reacquire the title as the Milky Way's closest neighbor. It is it is roughly 50,000 light years from the center of the Milky Way.
Which is the nearest spiral galaxy to your Milky Way?
I believe that would be M31.
How far would you have to travel to get to the end of the milky way galaxy?
Our spiral galaxy of The Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 80,000 to 120,000 light-years across, and less than 7,000 light-years thick.
Which galaxy is 34.8 billion miles from earth?
34.8 billion miles would still be in our galaxy, the Milky Way.
