Algae and amoebas (both protists) are actually fairly highly derived...There exists a romanticism and mythicism in regard to Mars. The whole red planet tag and The War of the Worlds. But, there's just nothing there. Life may exist further out, but I'd be guessing its in the raw form of algae and amoebas.
