SuperMars: Where We Really Came From And Where We'll Go When The World Ends
In Humans Are Not From Earth, ecologist and environmentalist Dr. Ellis Silver proved we couldn’t have evolved on this planet. Now he looks at where we really came from – and where we might be heading.
A Mars-like planet would suit us better than the Earth, so why did we end up here, on the wrong planet? Could there be another planet Mars in another solar system or another galaxy? Could our ancestors still be living there? Could we find it and live there too?
We only have a few hundred million years left on Earth. As the Sun grows hotter, the plants will die and the planet will become uninhabitable. Mars could become our home for the next five billion years. In fact, it will have to – we have no choice. But when the Sun expands into a red giant and consumes the inner planets, Mars will become red hot. And then what?
This far-reaching book looks at our real history, including our evolution on another planet and our arrival on Earth, and the many changes we’ve undergone since we settled here.
There’s a detailed comparison of Earth, Mars, and our original home planet.
And then we take a fascinating look at our possible future, from terraforming Mars, colonizing frozen moons, and building artificial worlds, to planet-hopping in other star systems, and (maybe) surviving the end of the universe.

I enjoyed the first book but its really not plausible However this one was almost entirely fiction. Full of if's , maybe , perhaps , could ,might and maybe.
Fantastical , spurious conjecture and doubtful hypothetical futurism donned in sci-fi babble.

Insane nonsense featuring a new invention that I'm calling Mars Eugenics

Awesome read!
This book forces one self to reexamine all the previous history that was taught to us in school about our origins as human beings. everything that we were taught is obviously not true. Even the two scientists that figured out the human DNA code admitted that someone most likely altered our DNA at some point along the line. Hhm, I wonder who that could have been?

Alot of repeats from the last book. Full of opinion and speculation. Author gives a lot of speculation of what ifs. Then certain things he doesn’t believe it he’s quick to give big nos. Really didn’t enjoy this
