Since they say there is water on mars today, could we have evolved from martian monkeys?

    There's a good possibility that you did, not me.

    I don't think so. I've seen a lot of science fiction movies and we look a lot more like chimps than we do martians. Our skin isn't green. Our eyes are smaller. We are bigger than the martians. There are just too many differences.

    I don't believe that humans evolved from martian apes. Instead, I believe that god evolved from a martian ape and then made the earth and all of the creatures on earth in 6 days. I'll have my proof when the mars rover discovers the martian bible.

    Source(s): I may be going to martian hell for writing that.

    Not from Mars monkeys. But, we may have evolved from displaced Martian bacteria. Bacteria on Earth have been found in some of the most inhospitable places imaginable. It is conceivable that bacteria could have travel to Earth from Mars many, many years ago. It is possible that some of them could survive the journey hitching a ride on a meteor. As tough as bacteria can be, bacterial spores are even tougher. Spores could have accidentally traveled here and started evolution anew when they reach a suitable habitat. I honestly don't believe it myself. But, hey I wasn't there. And, in science, if you can't prove it or disprove it then you just don't know.

    Only if they figured out a way to accomplish interplanetary travel, got here, turned into primitive humans with very crude tools, evolved into more modern humans and left no artifacts anywhere. Based on that I'd say no.

    Martian bacteria, maybe, but it still begs the question origin of life, whether it arose on Earth or Mars or elsewhere.
