Questions to consider as you read Origins, Chapter 15 (The
Origin of Life on Earth), and review the NOVA website history of life
on earth:
- What are the defining characteristics of Life on Earth?
- Using both the reading and the website: What are the major events
in the history of life, and why was each important for subsequent life
evolution?
- What are the major hyotheses for where and how life originated?
Is there a consensus on which is right? What is the main
uncertainty with all of them?
