An international team of space researchers working with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center has found previously unknown organic molecules on Mars using a new experiment aboard the Curiosity rover. The results are published in the journal Nature Astronomy.

what about the plans to alter the atmosphere on Mars in order to make it habitable for humans?
There are plans to terraform Mars and part of that is altering the atmosphere. A major determinant on human life on Mars is finding easily available water in the form of ice or below ground.
