While researchers are still debating the exact timeline, one thing is becoming clear. Life didn’t take long to get started.

A team of researchers has recently claimed they have discovered a gas called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of ...

A recent study from researchers at the University of Toulouse has revealed a fascinating insight into the origins of life on ...

The mystery of life’s beginnings has long captivated scientists. Central to that search is LUCA—the last universal common ...

Eukaryogenesis occurred suddenly, driven by the growing length of genes and the limitations on producing longer proteins. An ...

The team's work has significant implications for understanding not only the origins of life on Earth but also the potential for life elsewhere in the universe. By demonstrating that life-like ...

All that said, the findings can’t confirm the terrestrial life theory beyond a doubt. There’s still a chance hydrogen-heavy meteorites helped us along. Still, the new evidence makes a strong case that ...

The prebiotic Earth was a harsh and unstable environment, characterized by intense heat, active volcanoes and little atmosphere. How, then, did the molecular building blocks of life first form? Among ...

Pinpointing when and where Earth’s hydrogen is an essential key to understanding how life arose on the planet. Without hydrogen, there’s no water, and without water, life can’t exist here. Ironically, ...

The study potentially upends our understanding of early Earth, but the discovery of hydrogen in the meteorite doesn’t mean that life would have ... theory of the origins of water.

it would have been impossible for our planet to develop the conditions to support life. The origin of hydrogen, and by extension water, on Earth has been highly debated, with many believing that ...
