New Evidence: Life on Earth could have Started on Mars

There is a hypothesis that's gaining a little traction in the scientific community, which ultimately suggests that life on Earth could have originally come from Mars. Evidence in favor of this idea has been building over the last couple of decades, meaning it may soon evolve from the realm of viable hypotheses, to the realm of scientific theories.

This new breed of evidence comes from the Westheimer Institute for Science and Technology located in Florida after an analysis of a Martian meteorite. Today, (August 29; the time of this article's original publication), Professor Steven Benner will reveal his findings at a geochemist summit. The theory basically suggests that some 4-billion years ago, life started on Mars. A meteor then struck the planet; sending little chunks of Martian rocks - with bits and pieces of Martian microbes - into interplanetary space. One, or more, of these rocks then fell to Earth; seeding our planet with life. Billions of years later... BOOM, here we are. If true, it means that we... all... (could be)... Martians.
