Seth Shostak claiming about panspermia

Could your favorite Earthling also be your favorite Martian?

Allow me to respond: The answer is "yes." It's possible that billions of years ago, tiny bits of biology quit the Red Planet and infected ours. If so, your family tree -- and that of every other terrestrial life form -- has its deepest roots not in the ancient oceans of Earth, but in the vanished seas of Mars.

The mechanism by which biology can spread through space without the benefit of expensive space-agency hardware is known as panspermia. Life hitches a ride on sunlight or inside rocks -- not rockets.

Are You a Martian?

The Panspermia idea has been around for a very long time, and it seems to make sense. But, it still doesn't answer the bigger question of how that life began.
