Like a detective piecing together seemingly disparate bits of evidence, Dr. Sankar Chatterjee combines the most recent discoveries in cosmology, geology, chemistry, information systems, and biology, weaving a vast tapestry from the threads of current research. Dr. Chatterjee convincingly argues that the odyssey of life first began when the fundamental building blocks were brought to Earth by meteorites. These cosmic compounds concentrated and simmered like a soup in hydrothermal crater-caldrons. Through a system of subterranean vent networks, a biosynthetic-rich variety of organic compounds mixed and matched into a recipe of rich biomolecules guided by prebiotic information systems. Through symbiosis, these complex biopolymers gradually assemble into membrane-bound protocells. At each stage of this evolutionary progression, through natural selection, they refined with increasing stability and complexity, ultimately leading to the emergence of the first cells about four billion years ago. In this book, Dr. Chatterjee tells this story in rigorous detail in language | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | 关键词 | Archean Impacts; hydrothermal crater lakes; prebiotic synthesis; molecular symbiosis; abiogenesis | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-23397-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-23399-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-23397-5 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023 |
