Nov 19, 2015 · To do this, he begins with a mental leap: Life, he argues, should not be thought of as a chemical event. Instead, it should be thought of as information. The shift in perspective provides a tidy way in which to begin tackling a messy question.
How do those various living things function? When faced with the remarkable diversity of life, how do we organize the different kinds of organisms so that we can better understand them? And, finally—what biologists ultimately seek to understand—how did this diversity arise and how is it continuing?
Apr 30, 2008 · The Gaia Hypothesis (or popularly known as “Gaia Theory”) goes beyond the individual organisms living on Earth, it encompasses all the living and non-living components of Earth’s biosphere and...
We think we have a fairly solid understanding of how life can evolve to give us the variety, the diversity, and the complexity that we've seen around us, but it still leaves unanswered a very fundamental question. And this might be the biggest question known to us, and that is the origins of life.

What I’ve just described is Darwinian evolution: inherited variations, coupled with natural selection. The ability of living organisms to evolve has generated the spectacular biodiversity that surrounds us, and without it, we humans would never have shown up.
Jul 25, 2016 · July 25, 2016. A surprisingly specific genetic portrait of the ancestor of all living things has been generated by scientists who say that the likeness sheds considerable light on the mystery of...
