Human Evolution on Mars: A Likely Scenario
Human evolution continues; populations adapt to new environments through natural selection, as seen in high-altitude populations and those with lighter skin. Martian colonists will likely face new selective pressures, resulting in genetic adaptation over time.

Mantle Uplift Facilitated Animal Migration and Climate Change
Mantle plume activity and the collision of African and Asian tectonic plates caused a land bridge to form between Africa and Asia 35–20 million years ago, triggering animal migrations, including early human ancestors, altering ocean currents, and causing climate changes that may have driven early ho...
