Well, honey, unless you have magical night vision, the Milky Way looks like a smudge of light in the night sky. It's like trying to spot a cat hiding in a giant pile of laundry - you know it's there, but good luck seeing it clearly without some fancy equipment or a trip to a dark sky area. Hope that paints a picture for you!

If the milky way galaxy did not exist would human life exist?

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.
