How would earth be without friction and gravity similar to the moon?

How would humans have evolved?

How would we look and live differently? (Give some examples)

This is a science assignment that is half of my grade. I need to write a 4 paragraph essay on how earth would be without friction and the same amount of gravity there is in the moon? (Note I'm NOT saying no gravity, I'm saying with "little" gravity) Because if there was no gravity, then earth would just fly away and humans wouldn't be born and etc.

    Without friction? We'd all be sliding incredibly quickly and if we fell over it would be impossible to get up. Life as we know it certainly wouldn't have evolved as the basic laws of physics would be drastically different .

    The gravity would also be too small to have an atmosphere like the one we have. Life could possibly still evolve with a different atmosphere, but of course it would be very different than how it is now. Not to mention less gravity would mean a much different orbit around the sun and drastically different temperatures.
