If so, how and why? I'm trying to get my head around what we might look like?
Will we speak a new language one day?
Let's assume that travel to Mars will still be a big slow and rare occurrence.... No StarTrek bs allowed!.
In order for that to happen, there'd have to be a separation-- not one but both planets' technology would have to be broken down so that there would not be travel between the two planets, and interbreeding.
But it seems to me you'd probably get a new race-- better adapted to life on Mars.
