Hey idiots.

If gravity on Earth was different, would all life forms have evolved differently?

As in, if the G Force was the same as it is in Mars (or lighter), would we even be around?

Different poster, but look at how different ecosystems are in high altitudes versus low altitudes. If you completely changed gravity, this effect would be far more pronounced.

Differences in things like flight, respiration, even jumping would mean animals would all adapt differently to their surroundings.

Some stuff, perhaps, but slightly different. like it might be easier to support more massive animals in low gravity, so expect things like sauropods or things with long limbs, or a lot of flying/gliding things. Maybe even floaty things. Sky jellyfish.

possibilities are endless really.
