It is even possible that life on Earth may have evolved from life forms ejected from Venus, because
pieces of planets were blasted off
of each other much more frequently in the early Solar System by asteroidal and cometary
impacts, and so microbes from Venus could easily have ended up
landing on Earth (Sean Henahan, Access Excellence, February 5, 1997; and David Grinspoon, 1997).
