Since the beginning of time, man looked up into the sky and saw the red planet. We drew pictures of Mars on cave walls, we wrote songs, and we built complex structures to map it in the sky.
Humans are drawn to Mars
Call it an obsession, or an attraction, or a quest for knowledge, humankind has always been drawn to Mars.
Facts and Questions about the Red Planet, Panspermia and Humans
Have you ever wondered why humans are the only mammals to suffer from skin cancer? Is it possible we evolved on a planet where the sun was much weaker? Why haven't any of the rovers gone to any of the pyramid-like formations?

Did hit on important matters for me, citing the origin of life really being mars. Whether to put facts in title is wilful ignorance. I also liked that it ended on a good note. Let us not abandon mars, our rightful birthright. We must all/ partially all make our pilgrimage their one day!
There are so many holes in the authors thinking that I couldn't begin to cover them all. My favorite is how humans aren't adapted to live in sunlight. Let's forget for a minute that whole vitamin D thing which took who knows how long to evolve. The author completely glosses over the fact that up until recently our ancestors were cover in hair. We lost our fur coats in the blink of an eye, in evolutionary terms, so I see no conflict with the fact that our skin hasn't caught up yet.
The author also claims that humans are the recipients of 223 extra, 'alien' genes. Well I googled the issue, and sure enough, I got tons of hits saying that this is indeed so. Unfortunately, it's the quality of the hits that...um...smell of bovine fecal matter. If you look at sites that deal exclusively with the SCIENCE of genetics, you don't find much support for this notion....and no, I don't see a conspiracy of silence here.
Anyway, that's my take on this book. I got it through KU, so I don't feel ripped off, but I can't possibly recommend it.
Very short loosely based on fact don't know really what to think about this book to be honest maybe worth a read for somebody more interested in the subject
