Description
Marveling at the beauty and complexity of the world around us, people for centuries have asked questions: where did it come from? How did planets form, and why did life arise on one of them? What makes Earth’s biology rely on carbon and use only four types of “letters” in DNA? Where in the universe is it most reasonable to look for other forms of life, and how unlike us they might be?
In this audiobook, the most up-to-date scientific answers to these questions are brought together. Paths along the edge of knowledge are rarely simple, but the author strives to speak clearly and accessibly even to those far from biology. He sets out his ideas consistently and precisely, and in an engaging way shows how, from cosmic dust and meteorites—through hot springs at the foot of volcanoes—the first living cell could have emerged, and then went on to inhabit and transform the entire Earth.
