Panspermia is the scientific hypothesis that human DNA evolved from alien DNA delivered to earth through an asteroid crash, billions of years ago—most possibly from Mars.
Especially in our space travel and AI age, we tackle the urgency to resurface the conversation around panspermia and humanity’s, more than ever, hunger to question our origins.
