Scientists have said that there is evidence that suggests human life may have begun on another planet in the galaxy, and brought to Earth by a comet 4 billion years ago.
The theory that human DNA is alien is known as panspermia, and was first proposed in 1871, but new research has given the theory more credibility.
Dailymail.co.uk reports:
Although no evidence to prove this has yet been found, the idea of panspermia, which remains on the fringe of mainstream science, is not considered as far-fetched as it once was, according to New Scientist.
Peter Ward, a biologist at the University of Washington in Seattle, told the magazine: ‘I think the case for Mars as the origin of Earth life is pretty good.’
He added that should proof be found that life on Earth is extraterrestrial in origin, it would have some pretty major impacts on current scientific and religious thinking.
He said: ‘It’s a big blow. For some religious fundamentalists, it is an axiom that there is but one life and it is here on Earth.’
Many scientists have pointed at the apparent suddenness of life appearing on Earth around 3.8 billion years ago at the same time conditions to support life became perfect.
Some scientists go further and say the entire Milky Way may be teeming with life.
