Depending on how interested you really are in this topic, you might want to read some of Stephen Baxter's Manifold books. I'd recommend "Manifold Time" and "Manifold Space" to you.
More than one Big Bang seems likely, prior and concurrent intelligence seems likely. But humans are us... so unless it is a closed loop and we've been here before... we are probably unique in our humanity.

The Big Bang is the theory about the creation of the universe.
Since the universe could only come into existence once,I would say there wasn't more than one Big Bang. It's impossible to say
if we're the only humans or not.

If time is infinite, there could have been many hundreds or thousands of Big Bangs. The problem is that there would never be any evidence of such events, so it becomes an untestable hypothesis.
In a previous Universe, did human type animals evolve? Who knows. Perhaps the alternatives were even more amazing.

Since everything in the Universe must obey the laws of physics,chemistry,etc.- nothing is random or accidental. Everything is just a series of causes and effects. Knowing this, one must conclude that everything that happened before was going to happen. Our existence was predestined.
One of the laws of physics is that matter and energy can not be created or destroyed.It can only be transformed from one or the other. This Law dictates that if there was a Big Bang then there existed an equal amount of matter/energy before this event occurred.
Entering into conjecture, it is not unreasonable to theorize that if in fact the universe cyclically attains a singularity at regular intervals and these singularities are identical to one another that everything that has happened already occurred in previous universes and will happen again in future universes. A cosmic "Ground Hog Day" if you will.
It might be possible that not only did humans exist before but that in fact "You" existed before an infinite number of times, and will exist again an infinite number of times.

If you mean that the theory that says the universe wil collapse in on itself into one point,then the point might exploded again causing another universe to happen then I agree with you completely.If the bigbang started as a big explosion and ends in an infinently small point then shouldn't that small point explode?
it all makes sense to me

Anything is possible. However, if you look or watch science news at all you will find they are finding new species all the time Right Here On Earth?! So we spend billions of dollars to find proof of life on other planets, while we still can not name all the species here. Make sense? Your tax dollar$ hard at work..

for there to be more than one big bang the universe would have to close in on itself implying that it moves in two directions. the universe is moving only in one direction

Possibly but the planet would have had to start again in a way.
