This is pretty backwards. We will genetically engineer humans to live on Mars. This is the only way it can work. Any genetic drift would be optimized and changed by the same biotechnology, so there's no chance that a new species would be created in less than a millenia.
- fao_ 10y agoGenetically engineering someone to live on Mars could itself create enough of a difference that a new species could be created
- logfromblammo 10y agoIf the engineering is done correctly, the new models remain backward-compatible with the old.
- jack9 10y agoYes, but that wasn't covered by the article. The title references post-speciation.
