Finding out more about the mysteries of life’s origins on Earth is important, especially as we try to find life beyond our solar system. A new bit of research could change everything, finally bridging how Earth went from being a lifeless marble to the teeming planet that we know today.

As such, researchers tend to take one of two approaches to it – a top-down view that looks at the origins of life on Earth based on modern animals and plants and a bottom-up approach that starts before life appears on the planet.
