And the women came from Venus, to get more Penis… (I am such a child)
That’s right. He had a bomb in his rib cage.
Are the odds 1:10[sup]6[/sup], or is this the incidence? If the former (and assuming that the individual incidence is independent), there’s be about a 1% chance of 1 Martion per random group of 10,000 people, or 63% per 1,000,000. In the New York City Metro Area (population 18.7 million), it’s highly likely that there would be one, but highly unlikely (to four decimal places) that there would be two, and in fact, the probability of more than one in the entire country are about 0.03%. So even though we can speak reasonably about the likelyhood of a Martian having come here by some means (assuming that Tapioca Dextrin’s totally extracted-from-intestines number can be taken at face value), it’s clear that they couldn’t sexually reproduce, which therefore implies that Martins reproduce by parthenogenesis. We know that humans and indeed all mammals are incapable of parthenogenesis, Q.E.D. humans did not come from Mars.
Ain’t logic great?

Yeah, but Martian Daylight Saving is exactly 13 minutes and 25 seconds long.
It’s not surprising that the human circadian cycle should be longer than 24 hours.
Think about it this way: No biological clock can be absolutely accurate. There’s going to always be some slop. There will be variations between different individuals and even variations within an individual due to different environmental effects.
The question is “Is there any environmental pressure to select for internal clocks that are a little slow over clocks that are a little fast?” I think there is.
If your internal clock runs a little fast you have a tendency to do things a little early. You’re the first one up in your band of apes. You get sleepy in the afternoon a little sooner. You’re ready to fall asleep before everyone else.
If your internal clock runs a little slow you have a tendency to lag behind everyone else. You’re the last one up. The last one to get take a nap. You’re still up when everyone else is bedded down in their nests.
Humans are daylight pack animals. If you consistently wake up an hour earlier than everyone else that time is wasted. You can’t gather food. You can’t do much of anything. You just sit around in the dark waiting for the sun to come up or the rest of the band to wake up as well.
The same thing is true about staying up later than everyone else. There’s not much survival value for a human-like creature in sitting around alone in the dark.
But the two situations aren’t totally symmetrical. Since the early bird is waking up from sleep he can’t rely on external cues to override his internal clock. He wakes up and he’s stuck. But the night owl can see the setting sun and see the other apes yawning and bedding down for the night. These external cues help reset his clock to where it should be.
Basically if your internal clock runs slightly slow it’s easier to bring it back in synch than if your clock runs slightly fast. So you’d expect evolution to favor individuals whose circadian rhythm is slightly longer than the actual day.
Uh, Stranger, I think you were running an hour or two past your internal clock, there. You might want to re-check your calculations, starting with the “In New York City…” part.
I’m getting a 0.0000187 absolute probability of two sequential “one in a million” incidences (so, odds of “one in a million million”) for a population of 18.7 million, and a 0.00030 probability for the same odds with a population of 300 million. Did I flub something?
Anyway, I hear that the Martians are adverse to water, anyway. So, unlike a certain film I will not deign to name, they probably won’t want to be invading the Earth.
Stranger
In New York City…Martians calculate you!
Why would the Martians need to be sequential?
Can you pick out a Martian from the crowd? Neither can I, and I’m betting they can’t either. So, clearly, the odds of two Martians randomly getting together are almost infinitesmal. (And before you try to parse out the logic of that statement, I’m going to pull out my monkey puppet and prepare the Chewbacca Defense.)
Stranger
Well, “he said” that, sure. But was ‘he’ right?
Ooh, that’s a good question.
That would explain this movie: Mars Needs Women (TV Movie 1968) - IMDb
Or maybe not. Maybe nothing explains that movie. I’ll confess that I’ve only seen the beginning. It was on TV once on Saturday morning and shortly into the movie I realized I was far too sober to enjoy it.
Did We evolve from Mars
Since the early time of astrology humans wondered where we came from, who created our being. Since the population was so primitive in it’s thinking it makes sense that they created gods , deities, and religion to keep the masses in order to have fear and control of the population of each society. In ancient history,it shows primitive petroglyphs carved in rocks, stone walls and tablets depicting our solar system and not just 9 bodies in our solar system but 11 surround the star Sol .
Before Greek mathematician, astronomer and geographer Eratosthenes (276 BCE- 195 BCE) The fore mentioned ancient civilization mentioned would be around the 4500 - 5000 AD. mark who had know knowledge of telescopes or away of calculating distance by way of artificial assistance, but some how knew of the fact there were 11 bodies circulating the star Sol.
Who were the they inteligence to hand down first hand information to our ancestors, in theory it is now widely excepted that our closet neighboring planet Mars was in fact once long ago inhabited with intelligent life until the arrogance of that population, with technology and power to control the planets natural course of evolution caused their own termination. Much as our own world leaders are doing today with H.A.R.P !
With having said that , the leading scientific life forms possibly knew the destruction was inedible, so seeding another “Goldilocks” Planet near by “Terra” the problem of total annihilation of existence and history of that culture would still endure.
Picture if you will an “ARK” of that life form and possible the rest of that planets DNA samples being transported to "Terra"as seen in the Ridley Scott’s movie Prometheus (2012) written by John Spaihts were to be in fact a basis of truth, then this would answer the question as yes were not originally from “Terra”! We are all immigrants of a sort.
In ancient cultures it’s record that they have been visited and helped by advanced life forms from the sky and to explain who they didn’t know, they referred to them as gods , the same way if we were to travel back in history to the Incas or Mayan cities.
We would be in fact looked upon as Gods with the technology we know today with science and medicine. So not to knock religion but angels do not have wings it was early many who didn’t recognise a power field around the being that visited them and wonder how to depict this in art and literature.
India was the oldest culture to record such events as wars in the sky of gods in ships but were drawn as recognisable figures to relate further on in future history . Our own history shows the advance leap in genetics when it came to modern mankind and his predecessor in the evolutionary change , eg. the missing link .
This must be given thought to who had the advance knowledge in genetic DNA manipulation, and cross breeding what would later become modern man. Lets not forget the fact that Mars life forms would not be able to survive on this planet as the natural conditions were not the same , eg. gravity, weather climate and magnetic fields are mostly different from Mars or maybe another planet from our original origin.
Life forms of all types would grow differently here on “Terra” as an eg. people here on this planet grow differently because of living conditions such as weather climate , altitude, and distance to fresh water sources. So if in fact we were seed along with other types of DNA from Mars we would not look exactly like our progenitors because of "Terra’s"influence on the DNA deposited here as well as duration of time that passed .
In conclusion I hope this might clear up a few misconceptions in the question “Did Humans Evolve on Mars” !

Remember this is a possible conclusion to the history of life that started billions of years ago, I am not trying to contradict the writings of the Bible we hold so dear, but the Bible can be interpreted as well as misinterpreted in so many ways, eg. Noah’s Ark. Do you actually think of how many species of animals there not to mention the insect life there is, that’s a lot of mouths to feed and not to mention the refuse littering about . As well as keeping the population of species from trying to eat one another. Even with the largest of water craft we have today it would be impossible to manage what the Bible said Noah achieved. So is it possible we misinterpreted the Bible and it actually pertained to mean DNA?
In conclusion I hope this might clear up a few misconceptions in the question “Did Humans Evolve on Mars” !
Gosh, that was edifying!
Since no one seems to have mentioned it, in this zombie thread, I’ll just note that we have a pretty decent fossil record of human development from chimpanzee-like creatures. So, no, humans didn’t evolve on Mars.
The destruction of Martian life was indeed inedible.
Yes. I do. And this is not at all uncommon.
Furthermore (continuing to ignore the batshit insanity), genetic data show us unambiguously that we are related to all other life forms on earth. If humans, alone, had an extraterrestrial origin, it would be blindingly obvious in our DNA. So if, as some propose, life originated elsewhere and was transported to Earth, it must have been the seed of ALL life on Earth, not just us.
