We may all be Martians. Evidence is building that Earth life originated
on Mars and was brought to this planet aboard a meteorite, said biochemist
Steven Benner of The Westheimer Institute for Science and Technology in
Florida. An oxidized form of the element molybdenum, which may have been
crucial to the origin of life, was likely available on the Red Planet's
surface long ago, but unavailable on Earth, said Benner, who presented
his findings today (Aug. 28; Aug. 29 local time) at the annual Goldschmidt
geochemistry conference in Florence, Italy.
