Life on Mars?

The farther north you are, the less sunlight you get. Excess skin pigment prevents the manufacture of certain vitamins that require sunlight to form. They were asians first. When they came to America they became Native Americans. You apparently don't understand yet that it's the environment that's responsible for the adaptations you're referring to as "race". In the absence of malaria, having the sickle-cell gene is maladaptive. So the gene was lost in caucasians, assuming we ever had it - maybe the gene came after the people that became caucasians left Africa. No, it doesn't. It's an ongoing process that constantly shapes allele frequencies in a population. We are. We just have lighter skin and finer hair. Are you sure you're not just ignoring the answers, like you just did with me? There's no such thing. This is based on what, your advanced degree in biology? Contemporary chimpanzees and gorillas are considerably more evolved then they were 75k years ago. They're as evolved as everything else.You seem to have this idea that there's a ladder of "evolvedness" with us at the top. That's simplistic thinking, and it's just plain wrong. Modern primates are as evolved as anything else, including us.

To make a comment on what degrees I hold was not relevent to my questions. Unlike most well educated people, I'm not blinded by science or religeon. If you take your sunlight answer and think about it, then Eskimos would be black because they live where it's light 24 hrs a day for almost six months. Having Black skin in a sunny envirnment doesn't make sense because darker skin would hold and absorb heat. You would think the further north you go the darker humans would be to help preserve body heat. And, yes the is such a thing as human footprints in 70 million year old rock. Go to Texas so see them in person. it is documented. along with other anomalies as old as that. It is the attitude of most scientists to disregard or outright not believe evidence that is right in front of them because it doesn't fit their doctrines. A case in point would be NASA's constant representations of Mars's envirnment. The Skies of Mars are blue, not pink and the True color of the soil is desert brown not rust red. Think about it... If there were enough iron on Mars to turn the whole Planet rust red then the Gravity would be higher due to more planetary mass. Sorry, I am well educated but I'm not blinded or except things just because someone else says it. Here's a good question for you. When the solar system was younger the sun was hotter. to hot for life to exist on Earth but maybe on Mars it was cooler. Why couldn't Humans have evolved there and migrated to here as the sun grew cooler? It is a possibility.

Cmon, dude. You can think better than that, can't you?The inuit aren't black for the same reason that it's cold in the Arctic circle all year-round - the light they get is so weak and indirect that dark skin would prevent the accumulation of sunlight vitamins. That's the point - the dark pigments absorb harmful rays before they penetrate and damage deeper layers of skin and tissue. Why do you think you get tan from being outside? That doesn't make any sense at all. What you would expect is that people in the northern climes would have more sub-skin fat, and that's exactly what you find - which explains the soft features of the Inuit peoples. There are no such footprints. There might be some formations that look like footprints if you squint, but they're not really human footprints. You're either lying to me, or you've been lied to - there are no authentic examples of human and dinosaur footprints together. So show me the peer-reviewed source that documented them. But you haven't shown any evidence. You've just made claims. That doesn't carry much weight around here. And you know this because you were there? So why not apply your education? Instead of making rookie mistakes about light levels in the Arctic? It's a possibility, but there's no evidence to support such a theory. How did we get here? What made us forget how to make rockets? Where's all the ancient technology? You don't think a hyper-advanced race would have built stuff to last?

Seems that some NASA scientists think it's possible that life exists today on Mars, based on fluctuating levels of atmospheric methane. From space.com.
