There are many possible sources, biological or non-biological, such as interaction of water and rock.

There's also matter exchange from earth to mars that could have brought life that originated on earth to mars.

Yeah, I know that there are other filters behind us, but I just found it as a funny coincidence while I was in the middle of the facebook discussion about Great Filter and someone shared this Bostrom's article .

But I hope that our Mars probes will discover nothing.  It would be good news if we find Mars to be completely sterile.  Dead rocks and lifeless sands would lift my spirit.
