I actually thought about that one for a second!

i dont think that's possible either. Your DNA is very close to a chimps for example. If alien DNA was implanted in us, I'd imagine it would be noticable, becase it would probabley differ from the rest of the natural spieces on the planet. And they have also been able to trace our evolution from our 'ape state' to out curent status. maybe the aliens used the DNA to alter the first mammals isntead of waiting for the spieces to evolve too much.

To evolve during space travel? that would take 100's of thousands of years. .. for humans any ways. it is possible, i suppose for the race to evolve during their travels if they had a large enough genepool on the ship that they reproduce while at the same time trying not to allow inbreeding. but also, they have genetic engineered themselves for travel across space. but it still take millions of years even traveling at the speed of light. And as far as im concerned, light speed is impossbile to achieve. The race would have to be pure engery, and if they were, who could engery think? no. i still don't think aliens were ever to earth , but they may be exploring other planets out there. setting up 'shop' so to say on other alien planets and mingling, creating new technolgy that will no day let the reach here. if they know were are here. if an alien race was to check every planet they thought to be able to support life, that take thousands of year in itself. and how do we know they even consider earth habitable? maybe they jsut overlooked us and moved onto another planet. and they may not even pick up the radio signals emitting from earth. they may not have that technology. so the chances of us being detected is very very small . just like us, we are looking for planets that can support oxygen based lifeforms, when here on earth there are carbon based life forms.

I had no problem finding this planet (((LOL)))
Took a left turn at Albequirki and ended up in Bugtussle, instead of Wasburn ever think of that one?

really? i thought they were the directions to venus... hmm... ill have to check my map

In the world of imagination we'll say, what if their base camp was on Mars when Mars was more life supporting friendly and the earth was still just a hot steamy ball of granite. A life sustaining (wet) Mars with a thicker atmosphere and for millions of years this was their home and all that time they were observing and watching the development of life on earth. One day one of them says, "our species is dying out so why not let us leave a legacy of ourselves into this particular animal species, Lets do a little manipulating in their DNA structure with that of our species. What sets us apart and makes us unique from the rest of the animal kingdome on this planet is our brain

I don't think there was life on mars except for maybe for single cell organisms and maybe a step higher than that when the planet had water. otherwise, you think this race on mars would have left some form of ruins behind, or one of the spieces on the planet would have evolved enough to live. And why didn't this race just move to earth? why did they just supposedly alter us. they would've left some sort of relic behind to lets us know of their existence. and if this 'advance' race did alter us, why didn't they come back and declare to the planet that they are basically our parents. This is starting to sound like the uplift series here. no, i doubt there was intelligent life on mars and any time throughout history.

That sounds a lot like the arrival of Superman on earth but on a much greater scale.

For one thing after three million years, so scientists theorise was when Mars (dried up) lets say our imaginary interstelar friends would either have gone extinct for what ever reason, a disintigration of the genetic pool well say or they just simply left. As for artifacts even if there were any after three million years they would be mostly obiterated by the scowering of the Martian desert wind. What if at some point rover spirit tumbled into a huge undergound cavern during it's exploration, and this cavern turnes out to be an artificial structure constructed out of the planets verry own solid granite. Would be interesting to find out the reaction from Nasa. If there is nothing discernably recognisable left intact above ground then if there were subteranian structures they would still be there. Now wouldn't that be something. As for artifacts here on earth I think there are quite a few possibileties, like sturctures that were built so long ago it is hard to get an acurate reading as to how old they realy are but these structures are so formidable that there would have been no way men could have constructed them with the simple tools they had 10,000 or so years ago. Physosists and archiologists every day are discovering great mathematical and astrophysical values in these structures. Maybe these equations will lead to that mape you lost Aftermath. isn't it wonderfull to have an imagination?

I really want my map back.... :<

Shot that one down on me
Yeah that blasted sand probably erdoe any structures that were left on he planet. As to building on the earth, the only ones that I think think of are the pryamids and the other astrological (or so people believe, but I they are gateways created by the Druids in another world! MWHAHAHAHA )

But anyways, you did explain why the race hasn't come back to annouce this to the world. If they were smart enough to genically alter us, then they would be smart enough to seek out our leaders to inform them and not land in some farmers crop.

I would make this longer but i have classes

I really enjoy this thread
