Description:... The authors examine the enduring mysteries surrounding life's origin: did life arise on Earth or on some other planet? What did the earliest primitive organisms look like? Were they based on RNA, DNA, or on something we would hardly recognize today? They explore the latest research - in fields ranging from molecular biology to astronomy - on questions surrounding life's origins.
