Explores the possibilities of how life began on Earth four billion years ago

Recenzje

Deamer touches on one of the most critical questions facing astrobiologists. I have long wondered exactly how nucleic acids, proteins, and membrane molecules came together; it must have occurred in a very small area, and over a relatively short time period ... Deamer's book nicely illustrates the progress we've made toward solving the puzzle in recent decades.
