The expansion of the Universe is a large-scale phenomenon: in general, the further away a galaxy is, the faster it recedes from us. But over small regions of space, this expansion is negligible compared to the motion of individual galaxies.
The Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies are sufficiently large – and sufficiently close together – to create a gravitational force that overcomes the general expansion and pulls them together.

Sometimes I get a little depressed that we can't see the other planets out there. Just think of all the pokemon out there 8). If it's anything like earth was with dinosaurs, everything probably eats everything though.
Also considering the time scale humans figured out computers - we went from bashing rabbits with rocks to shitposting on the internet in 10, 20, 40,000 years or whatever. That's very short on the scale of the universe. Probably some pretty advanced stuff out there that's solved everything!
