Does this mean I've been wasting money buyinmg expensive Sea salt?

It seems to me that one of the arguments for an ocean development, at least in the line that begat animals, is not simply that we use salt, but that our bloods salinity is so close to that of ocean water...contemporary ocean water.

[lepton]

Scientists still have not figured out what triggered the enormous increase in the diversity of life in the Cambrian era.

Not decided, but possibly related to the development of sight.

"If the earliest life forms were halophiles, says Knauth, then perhaps we are really Martians."

Wouldn't suprise me a bit.

Mars originally had much more salt than the Earth, and when Mars lost 50 to 90 percent of its water through evaporation it became even saltier. The Panspermia theory says that life originated elsewhere and then was transferred to Earth by meteors. If the earliest life forms were halophiles, says Knauth, then perhaps we are really Martians.

Where did the life on Mars come from.

Are they trying to claim that ancient Martian bacteria developed space travel when they didn't even have little hands to build space ships with.

Or are they suggesting that Mars exploded and blew a chunk of itself off and the little bacteria survived the explosion and traveled through space and managed a controlled entry in Earths atmosphere with out burning up.

Or perhaps the little bacteria with their advanced physics were able to pilot the meteor into a controlled entry into the atmosphere of Earth.

INTREP - We could assume life began in outer space, but that would not prove any of the theories.

We could also assume that life was formed from the dust of the earth. After all, the basic components of our bodies correspond to the basic elements of the earth: Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen.
