I may not have approached your post in the most mature manner, but it still seems pretty stupid to immediately assume that something like this would be common knowledge/a well known fact or theory to anyone.
scientists extrapolated the evolution of life and found that if it went at roughly the same rate they know it has been going at for the past billenia it would have had to start evolving before the earth was stable enough to allow it, so maybe this is extra evidence for that?

In other news, science is still examining whether or not women came from Venus.
And life on Mars originally came from...

That's more or less reductionist, you've got the general idea but it's rather complex. We've got a vague idea of how the process went. It would have started with "protein" monomers (units) joining to form more complex structures capable of reproduction from smaller bits. It would have likely been a very slow and random process.

[QUOTE=PredGD;42007902]just curious, has this theory been around for a while? I learned that this happened through a documentary I saw two years ago I think? not trying to be all "this is common knowledge" or anything[/QUOTE]
Panspermia isn't a new idea, but as far as I'm aware the idea of life coming in part from Mars hasn't been widely discussed.

Considering how commonly those science channels talk about it, the average person would assume that it's widely known. It's easy to assume when you hear it being talked about every so often on science oriented places.

Maybe if you'd read the article?
When can we start going back?
