Apparently, we're all Martians...

Recommended Posts

With some people I know, it doesn't surprise me. It seems I've heard this theory before. It's not really a new idea. However, if life had originated on Mars, I find it odd that the rovers haven't found any trace of organisms. Living or dead.

Well, fossilization is a rare process.  For all the info we have on life on Earth millions of years ago, our own fossil record is sketchy at best, since so many bodies never fossilize, even if they had hard parts such as bones or shells, to say nothing of microbes.

 

However, cell-like structures HAVE been found in Martian meteorites that landed here on Earth.

The theory was that life started on Mars over 4 billion years ago, hitched a ride on a rock that was blasted from Mars by a volcanic eruption or asteroid impact, ended up crashing here on Earth, and blossomed on Earth while Mars went dormant.
