Описание:
Over the past 150 years the acknowledged dates for the formation of the Earth and the origin of life have been pushed steadily back– further and further into the remote past. As these timescales have lengthened however, the interval between the two dates has diminished to such an extent that we?re left with a serious conundrum: The interval between the formation of the Earth (or at least a surface capable of supporting life)and the appearance of life is simply too short for life to have evolved from scratch. Could life on Earth really have developed so rapidly? Is the Earth older than we think? Or did life originate elsewhere and then find its way to our planet? Has it always been a phenomenon of the universe rather than only our unremarkable planet? In this fascinating book Clive Trotman uses the latest scientific research to explore these questions and the origins of life in the universe.Похожие книги
