Aliens

Are Humans from Mars

It has been noted that compared to other organisms on Earth, humans are sufficiently different that evolution alone doesn’t satisfy the question: where did we come from. Who are we?

In 2013, A National Geographic article explored the concept of panspermia. More specifically, it asked the question did life on Earth originate on Mars. When you consider that scientists are still asking if there is life on Mars, and they have found molecules suggesting active life in the clouds of Venus, and that there may be life on the moons of the gas giants… if any or all of these turn out to be factual, the Drake occasion will have to change. Science will have to update their own beliefs. If you have multiple Genesis events in one solar system alone, then life has to be more prevalent in the Universe than we think. If not that, don’t we have to assume life in this system was seeded?

In this essay though, I am not speaking about panspermia. If I am not mistaken, panspermia is a natural seeding of life from place to place, not the seeding of life by deliberate acts from sentient beings. If humans lived on Mars and we created ships and came here during a Martian catastrophe, or more like a war, then that’s not technically panspermia, right?
