Re: Martian soil 'could support life'

Shouldn't we assume that the proximity of Mars (and Venus for that matter) mean that it would be made of similar stuff to Earth? Wouldn't it be more surprising if it it were composed of completely different elements?
I mean we know Jupiter is in a different class. It doesn't really even have a solid surface, but the inner planets are all basically siblings, cosmologically speaking.
