The Shadow Biosphere— We learn in biology class about the “Tree of Life”, that all life evolved from common ancestors billions of years ago, ultimately back to those primitive microbes on prehistoric earth. But who’s to say life only formed once? Could other sparks of life flared up on Earth? And if so, where are they now? |
