Ancient Mars may have been more like Earth than most people realize. But could the Red Planet reveal something even bigger about where we came from?

Was Mars once a living world? And if so, what happened to it?

In this episode of Divergent Files, we examine the scientific evidence that ancient Mars once had rivers, lakes, a thicker atmosphere, and conditions that may have supported life. Along the way, we explore Martian meteorites, NASA discoveries, lithopanspermia, the ALH84001 meteorite, declassified CIA Mars files, ancient myths, and the provocative idea that Mars may hold clues to humanity's origins.

This is not a claim that humans came from Mars. It's an evidence-based exploration of competing theories, unresolved questions, and one of the biggest mysteries in planetary science.
