The hypothesis that humans could originate from Mars is rooted in the idea of panspermia, where life can be transferred between planets via meteorites. Mars, once having conditions suitable for life, might have harbored microbial life that was ejected into space by an asteroid impact. These microbes could have then traveled to Earth on Martian meteorites, seeding life here. This theory gains plausibility from discoveries of Martian meteorites on Earth and evidence suggesting Mars once had liquid water and a thicker atmosphere, conditions potentially favorable for life.
