This is beyond a reach and doesn't even make sense. What would tiny wings do on a planet with a thin atmosphere roughly equivalent to being over 100,000 ft high on earth?
That last article about life on mars was much more compelling: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/im-convinced-we-found-evidence-of-life-on-mars-in-the-1970s/ https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/im-convinc...
- nsxwolf 7y agoMars's atmosphere may have been thicker in the past, and wings could be vestigial appendages from the creature's ancestors.
- lazzlazzlazz 7y agoSurely they would have been strongly selected against given many thousands of generations in a harsh environment?
- nsxwolf 7y agoAnd worse for my idea, looks like Mars probably lost its atmosphere billions, not millions of years ago.
- ksaj 7y agoThen they'd have the problem of not being able to fly very easily in still weather, and being blown to the other side of the globe during the dust devil / wind storm events.
