All the long term experiments done to determine the human sleep/wake cycle, where they shut people away without any timepieces, or any chance to see whether it is day or night, show that our internal clock resets to 25 hour days for some reason................
What a coincidence that Mars days are 25 hours long, huh?

...You said Earth's day is going to become longer in the future, so we will be tuned to Earth in that far future...
Fortunately for all Mars has a 24 hour and 40 min long day.
Therefore we must be from somewhere else.
Or alternatively were all descended from a future race of humans who come from a time when the days are longer!

All sort od injuries we have just because gravity is too strong on this planet. There is nothing bad in feeling heavy, it is for the gravity too strong. Yes, also bone diseases and pain, spinal pain, discus hernia, that shouldn't happen if gravity is smaller.

II I bet all of you has this problem from time to time, just having to have one more hour a day, and everything would be just fine, I am sure Earth has been manipulated somehow to prolong duration of day, but it was impossible to make it longer, because all plants and animals here would suffer.

III If we look directly at the Sun we can damage eyes, that is not logical if we were adapted to this planet. Also UV rays making more damage to our eye system, in fact we all feel just right when sun is lower and during cloudy days, no kidding, all northern countries are more industrial developed. it is because of that reason, heat is good for reptilians only. (there was one movie with Charlie Sheen about that )

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A study of meteorites chipped off the surface of Mars suggests the planet has been frozen for 4 billion years and probably never had the warm wet conditions that could have given rise to life, two researchers said on Thursday.
Their study of two meteorites that fell to Earth suggests they were never in warm conditions. The report, published in the journal Science, contradicts theories the now-frozen planet may once have been warm enough for life to have arisen.
"First, we evaluated what the meteorites could have experienced during ejection from Mars, 11 to 15 million years ago, in order to set an upper limit on the temperatures in a worst-case scenario for shock-heating," said Benjamin Weiss, an assistant professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He did the work while a graduate student at the California Institute of Technology.
They concluded the two meteorites were unlikely to have been above the boiling point of water during their ejection from the martian surface 11 million years ago.
Then Weiss and fellow student David Shuster measured the amount of argon remaining in the samples.
Argon, a gas, is known to leak out of rocks at a rate that depends on temperature.
The cooler the rock has been, the more argon will have been retained.
"The small amount of argon loss that has apparently taken place in these meteorites is remarkable. Any way we look at it, these rocks have been cold for a very long time," Shuster said in a statement.
Their calculations suggest the Martian surface has been frozen for most of the past 4 billion years.
"On Earth, you couldn't find a single rock that has been below even room temperature for that long," Shuster said.

This is the only answer, we are all coming from the future but how all other things happens I am still not sure.
Maybe we are still coming from the future Mars. Which will achieve 25 hours day sooner then Earth.

I'm sorry to say that it is too far away from the sun to support life.

We are talking about HUMAN life here. Put a low gravity planet about the size of Mars in the frigid region known as the asteroid belt. Doesnt sound too comfy for humans, right?
