What is life and how did it emerge from non-lii
_
Living forms are made up of the same dead atoms
and molecules as inanimate forms. Yet, unlike inanimate
matter, living things reproduce, maintain themselves,
and behave purposefully. What gives life this unique
character—a character we routinely take for granted?
Erwin Schrödinger s
famous book powerfully articulated these questions
back in the
1940s.
However, without understanding the process by which
life came to be, we cannot hope to fully understand what life is. Yet, the
question of how such a complex form as even the simplest bacterium
could arise from inanimate beginnings, has remained obstinately out of
reach. Now, the emerging field of systems chemistry may finally be giving
us insights into the most profound question of the life sciences. And as
Addy Pross shows in this compelling and important book, the principle
by which life can arise turns out to be none other than a deeper, more
fundamental chemical expression of Darwinian evolution.
