This article is about hypothetical inhabitants of Mars. In computer networking there are also "Martian packets," and a group of famous physicists and mathematicians from Hungary were dubbed "The Martians"
The name Martian is given to the hypothetical native inhabitants of the planet Mars. Historically, life on Mars has often been suggested, and the notion continues into the present day, having such proponents as Courtney Brown. While it remains possible that there is life on Mars, it is now doubted by the scientific community.
If Mars is one day colonized by humans, the generations descended from the settlers will most likely also be called Martians.
