An analysis of the distribution of the orbital periods of the asteroids has shown that there is a preference for these periods to be near-commensurate with that of Mars. We suggest that this preference is associated with a formation process and implies that the orbital period of Mars has not changed greatly since the time of asteroid formation. We deduce from this that the solar system is highly stable and long-period gravitational perturbations have probably had little influence on the gross evolution of the solar system.
