These are some of the most profound questions we can ask.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor almost a century, a small band of eccentric scientists has struggled to answer these questions and explain one of the greatest mysteries of all: how and why life began on Earth. There are many different proposals, and each idea has attracted passionate believers who promote it with an almost religious fervor, as well as detractors who reject it with equal passion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the quest to unravel life’s genesis is not just a story of big ideas.
