Fascinating! After reading Finders by Jeffery E Martin, I’m very interested in how we might evolve our stress response into higher states of consciousness, what he calls Persistent Non-Symbolic Experience… seems there’s evidence that’s happening: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7431950/
So in your opinion, if we colonized Mars, would the offspring born there inherit adaptions to the lower gravity? And eventually, much sooner than Darwinian selection would predict, evolve into a new species of human?

Pretty speculative, I'd say.
Undoubtedly, but speculation is fun. What do you think?
