Reply to comment by k-laz in More Water Found on Moon, Locked in Tiny Glass Beads by LanceOhio

That way when our species is dead and gone for a millenia and then aliens come to visit they'll see there was water on our planet!

What if our species originated from Mars, and we flew to Earth because we wrecked our environment. Then we had a massive war with each other and practically all but died out, then we started to slowly build back up and now we're looking at Mars like maybe it's something we could explore. Like it's calling back to us. Maybe that's why we can't find the exact link between us and primates? lol that would be a trip.

We are primates lol

And it's impossible to find the one "exact link" where we branched off from, say, chimpanzees, the odds that that individual was fossilised and we can extract DNA are just so incredibly tiny.

It’s a possibility if aliens looked like squirrels millions of years ago, but yeah bigger chance there’s Bigfoot out there then us not being true primates.

Did we leave ourselves water on Mars? How many times did we perform this dance? We have been to Mars twice and this is our third time on Earth?

We started on Mars and somehow stripped away most of the atmosphere. Then we went to Venus and caused runaway global warming. Then we came here and, well, you know. /s

We have all the links between us and our ancestors. You can't find a link between you and your cousin unless you count your grandparents.

Mars was too cold and atmosphere didn't really stuck. Venus was much better, but look at how that turned out and that's just for a bit of much needed AC.
Good thing that in the mentime that hellish third planet turned out pretty nice, they say third time the charm, no..?

Venus* we came from Venus, Mars is next when we've depleted Earth/it can no longer sustain humans.

Speculative, and yet saddening
