Will a new Species Evolve if Humans migrate to Mars and stay for few hundred years?

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, but it takes a *lot* longer than a few hundred years (a few generations) to result in a new species.

On top of this, the environment for colonists on Mars would not be that radically different from the earth's environment. Life support would have to maintain the same atmosphere, temperature, radiation, environments, the same food and water requirements etc. Probably the main difference would be the much smaller gravity on Mars, which would badly deteriorate human muscles and skeletons unless some other measures were put into place.

Of course because everyone knows that humans are capable of withstanding the incredibly high temperatures and toxic atmosphere of mars... Dude!!! A human wouldn't last in that place for a second much less a few hundred years!!!!!

i do no longer think of you have an particularly solid carry close of it in any respect. not one of the apes that are around immediately are the apes we decended from. take a verify out the kinfolk cows, there are 2 species, Bos indicus, zebu and Bos taurus, taurine farm animals or you may purely be attentive to them as cow. They superior (no longer via organic sectection hence, yet by utilising domestication) from an extinct species called Auroch, Bos primigenius. Auroch went extinct in the seventeenth century CE. whilst the farmers have been breeding the Auroch to make greater trouble-free to shelter farm animals with the two solid meat or solid milk or solid workers, they might enable the cows with solid characteristics breed greater so as that they might have greater useful yields. over the years, the farm animals became much less and much less Auroch-like, as a inhabitants. What did no longer take place became one calf became all at as quickly as a Holstein. Now, what constitutes a species. A species is a classification, so human beings have variations of evaluations on what makes a species. One trouble-free rule of thumb has to do with how trouble-free it is to hybridize persons between 2 species, and if their offspring is fertile. some human beings argue that taurine cows and zebu shoud count number as subspecies of Auroch, becuase it is conceivable to hybridize them. yet hybridability because of the fact the only determiner of what makes a species isn't good. There are some animals the place species A can hybridize with species B, and B can with C, yet A can no longer with C. there is particularly plenty greater advice you will get approximately this. And once you're particularly fascinated, it particularly is an attractive concern. and that's why a rhesus monkey won't supply start to a chimpanzee. playstation : human DNA is an identical length because it became 5 thousand years in the past. For the generational length of human beings and our inhabitants length, do no longer assume a clean species in tens of hundreds of years, without lively human tinkering. it particularly is taken hundreds of hundreds to one million in the previous, and that's whilst there have been inhabitants bottlenecks to help. additionally, the trait variations between black human beings and white all and sundry is so particularly minute, it particularly is disgusting which you're saying "nonetheless human".

Yes since all living organisms are capable of evolving then if humans migrate to Mars, they will adapt to the weather and they will evolve.

good luck.

man can reach there only by changing the situations of mars . if he succeed in that ,it will surly become a turning point of the evolution of a new human species, but we will not be accepting it,- as we have a written history here to teach our young(evolved) ones. and if so, another war of racial discrimination will happen "ALL MAN ARE EQUAL".

No - how bloody stupid! The climate is all wrong - Id rather live in a piece of coal than Mars

No, coz (a) the heat would kill them. (b) the absence of water would kill them. (c) the absence of water would prevent any living thing existing there to provide food for them. (d) Cosmic rays would rip their DNA to shreds and give them terminal cancer within about 15 seconds.

If you want more reasons it's ridiuclous, I was just getting started - the only place it's feasible is in the mind of an idiot (which is why George Bush believes it's perfectly possible!)

Probably not.
Humans would not live in Mars' climate, they would change the climate to suite their situation e.g. Biodomes

good chance to happen. even on this earth, human evolve...
