The generally accepted story of the origin of life on Earth is outdated. Two scientists, Peter Ward and Joseph Kirschvink, offer a book that brings together all the findings of the latest research. The authors show that many of our previous ideas about the history of the origin of life are incorrect. First, the development of life was not a leisurely, gradual process: cataclysms contributed to the formation of life more than all other forces combined. Secondly, the basis of life is carbon, but what other elements determined its evolution? Third, since Darwin we have thought in terms of the evolution of species. In fact, there has been an evolution of ecosystems—from undersea volcanoes to tropical forests—that have shaped the world as we know it. Drawing on their decades of experience in paleontology, biology, chemistry, and astrobiology, Ward and Kirschvink tell a story of life on Earth that is so fantastic that it is difficult to imagine, and at the same time so familiar that it is impossible to ignore.
