A New Study Points to Two Origins of Life on Earth by Tracing Early Chemical Reactions in Single-Celled Organisms
Reported bySmithsonian Science & Nature ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A study published in Science Advances by researchers including William Martin at the University of Düsseldorf proposes that bacteria and archaea evolved independently from a primordial ancestor, rather than from a single common ancestor, and traces how core metabolic reactions assembled over time through enzyme evolution.
