Genesis On Planet Earth
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Life's greatest mystery is its beginning. Sealed in lithified sediments of ancient volcanic lakes are the fossil remains of microorganisms that lived on earth 3.4 billion years ago. These are the earliest known forms of life and progenitors of all living things. But where did they come from? What happened in the billion years between the formation of the earth and the appearance of these primitive microbes that led to their development? In Genesis on Planet Earth the author takes the reader back in time to that primordial scene and the chemical and geological circumstances that led to the formation of biological systems. He follows the evolution of life forms and the manner in which they are locked in with the earth's own evolution. Then after defining the essential requirements for a primal cell, he delineates the experiments simulating the conditions of primordial earth that demonstrate the probable events which led to the origin of life.
