It might be a large surprise and would lead to reevaluation of the history of the solar system. That wouldn't have anything to do with evolution, however.

But the main reaction, from scientists, of such a discovery would be excitement. Heck, scientists who study evolution would be excited to find how evolution worked out on another planet. Likely parallel development of life on Mars would be another, huge, confirmation of evolution.

"Likely parallel development of life on Mars would be another, huge, confirmation of evolution."

Another? Life on Earth has been a total disproof of every tennet of evolutionism. Every species on Earth is completely discrete, leaving millions of barriers to the ridiculous idea of evolution.

If there is any trace of life on Mars, it had to have come from Earth, at the beginning of the flood, when geisers of water errupted outward at 37,000 MPH as the crust was broken up.
