Radical Study Suggests Life on Earth Arose Twice
The fact that you, or I, or any living creature, is here at all is a series of astonishing strokes of luck stretching back more than 4 billion years. One of the biggest hurdles was the very first one: How did life emerge from a primordial soup of stuff that very much wasn't alive? A radical new study, published in Science Advances, suggests that this unlikely threshold may actually have been crossed not once, but twice.
Summary
A new study proposes that life on Earth may have originated twice instead of just once, challenging long-held beliefs about the emergence of life from non-living matter. This intriguing theory could reshape our understanding of life’s beginnings and the conditions that fostered it.
