Your OP doesn't make any sense. Whatever does limitations of our own sensor organs compared with those of other animals have to do with whether there's life elsewhere in the universe? In the end, in the final paragraph that you had added to "clarify {your} point", it appears that all that was just meant as some kind of back-hand swipe at evolution. But even when view thus, it still does not make any sense!
Many people, including most "evolutionists", are of the opinion that the chances of life not also existing elsewhere in the universe are vanishingly small. In fact, most of the people who assume that life only exists here on earth hold that opinion because of their religious beliefs, that the earth and all life on it hold a central place in the universe, having been especially created by their god and holding that god's entire attention; IOW, creationists, quite the opposite of "evolutionists".
Thus, it would not be evolution that would limit our visions and keep us from considering the likelihood of life elsewhere in the universe, but rather it would be creationism and its associated theologies that so limits us.
