Genesis: Rocks, Minerals, And The Geochemical Origin Of Life
June 2005, Vol. 1, No. 3
Few scientific questions so capture the public imagination, or provoke such lively debate, as how life on Earth emerged. In this issue of Elements, four of the most creative minds in origins research present their original insights on the geochemical origins of life. Each author has studied the field in depth, and each has come to an inescapable conclusion: rocks and minerals must have played a pivotal role in the transition from the blasted, prebiotic Earth to the living world we now inhabit. Rocks and minerals catalyzed the synthesis of key biomolecules; they selected, protected and concentrated those molecules; they jump-started metabolism; and they may even have acted as life’s first genetic system.
