If Venus had an advanced civilization already at the dawn of humanity here on earth, why wouldn't they have given us all their knowledge and technology? Which would have spared us from having to go through the struggle of developing our own civilization for thousands of years. The answer is that it would just have produced a clone/copy of their civilization.
Imagine if the first advanced civilization to develop in our universe would have done that to other civilizations who in turn would have given that same knowledge to newer civilization and so on throughout the whole universe up to the present time. Then all those civilizations would be bleak copies/clones of each other with one "monoculture" being the same in every civilization. That's a low level of uniqueness and a narrow restriction for creative expressions.
