Default Re: OT: Carbon Dioxide races -> known vs unknown -> terraforming mars -> is or is not

I.F., most likely you are correct. In fact I'll not bet a peny against a 1M of pounds that you are wrong. However, there is no much difference between, for example, yeasts and humans - 60% genome similarity ! We know of the extreme habitats of anaerobic bacteria. There is nothing in the laws of physics to prevent the evolution of more complex organisms there too. Yes, it is unlikely, I agree with you, but it is still inside boundares of the serious science.
