The origin of life (Are we Martians?)

A Greek philosopher, Anaxagoras in the century VI BC, raised a theory (not yet demonstrated) called panspermia (“pan”, all and “sperma” seed). It is the hypothesis that life could have originated somewhere in the Universe and reached Earth, embedded in the remains of comets and meteorites.

Is it possible that life on Earth is of Martian origin? Can you imagine being a Martian?

Scientifically we have not yet found traces of life on Mars, but we continue planning missions to help us discover if it exists.

Would you like to travel with us to Mars in search of life traits and trying to confirm/deny this theory? You would go down in history!

 

Do you dare to try it?
