Cuvier

Decedent of man
Darwin is now unabashedly and takes on human evolution. His new book also stresses the importance of “sexual selection” in driving evolution to life. -

origins of life
With electricity currents to act as lightning and a soup of inorganic chemicals to simulate the conditions of ancient Earth, a young graduate student named Stanley Miller produces amino acids which are key chemical building blocks of life. -
