518<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This was hard to pick because it is difficult to determine which origins of life hypotheses are the most uncommon, as different theories have varying levels of acceptance within the scientific community. Here are a few examples of origins of life hypotheses that are less well-known or less widely accepted:</p>
519
520
521
522<ol class="wp-block-list">
523<li>Panspermia: The theory of panspermia proposes that life on Earth originated from seeds of life that were transported to our planet through comets, meteorites, or other means. According to this theory, life may have originated elsewhere in the universe and was then transported to Earth, where it could thrive and evolve. <strong>There are many versions of this; you can read ours here: <a href="https://doi.org/10.1002/bip.23486">the journal version </a>and the <a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.06732">arxiv version</a>. </strong></li>
524
525
526
527<li>Directed panspermia: The theory of directed panspermia proposes that life on Earth was intentionally seeded by an intelligent extraterrestrial civilization. This theory is considered less likely than the common panspermia, as it requires the existence of an advanced extraterrestrial civilization capable of sending life to other planets. This can still be true if we&#8211;as us humans&#8211;are the advanced extraterrestrial civilization that might someday seed life on another planet, i.e., human-directed Panspermia.</li>
528
529
530
531<li>Origin of life in ice: Some scientists have proposed that life may have originated in ice rather than 
531in a liquid environment such as water. According to this theory, ice&#8217;s structural and chemical properties may have facilitated the synthesis of complex organic molecules and the emergence of life.</li>
532
533
534
535<li>Origin of life through quantum mechanics: A few scientists have proposed that the origins of life may be related to the principles of quantum mechanics, which govern the behavior of subatomic</li>

589<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are many different theories and hypotheses about the origins of life, and the specific mechanisms responsible for the emergence of life are still not fully understood. However, some origins of life hypotheses are more widely accepted or popular than others.</p>
590
591
592
593<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the most widely accepted hypotheses about the origins of life is the RNA world hypothesis. This theory proposes that RNA, a molecule that plays a central role in the synthesis and regulation of proteins, was the first form of genetic material and the precursor to DNA. According to this theory, RNA may have been able to replicate and evolve on its own, leading to the emergence of more complex life forms.</p>
594
595
596
597<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another widely accepted hypothesis about the origins of life is the metabolic theory of the origin of life. This theory proposes that the first living organisms were simple metabolic 
597systems that could extract energy from their environment and use it to synthesize complex organic molecules. According to this theory, the emergence of life resulted from a series of chemical reactions that occurred in the presence of energy sources such as UV radiation or lightning.</p>

672<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are many different approaches that scientists use to study the origins of life. Here are a few examples:</p>
673
674
675
676<ol class="wp-block-list">
677<li><strong>Experimental simulations</strong> (<em>what I do</em>): Scientists can conduct experiments to simulate the conditions that may have existed on early Earth and study the chemical reactions that may have led to the emergence of life. These experiments can be conducted in the laboratory using various techniques, such as chemical synthesis or irradiation with UV radiation.</li>
678
679
680
681<li><strong>Analysis of meteorites and comets</strong> (<em>what I like</em>): Scientists can study meteorites and comets to understand the types of chemical reactions that may have occurred in the early solar system and to search for evidence of the building blocks of life.</li>
682
683
684
685<li><strong>Astrobiological exploration</strong> (<em>what I am curious about</em>): Scientists can explore other planets and moons in our solar system and beyond to search for evidence of past or present life and understand the conditions necessary for life to emerge and evolve. For example, the recent James Webb Space Telescope. <
685/li>
686
687
688
689<li><strong>Theoretical modeling</strong> (<em>what I can&#8217;t do</em>): Scientists can use computer simulations and mathematical models to understand the conditions and processes that may have been necessary for the emergence of life on Earth and to test different hypotheses about the origins of life.</li>
690</ol>
691
692
693
694<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, the study of the origins of life is a multidisciplinary field that combines elements of biology, chemistry, physics, and other scientific disciplines to understand the conditions and processes necessary for the emergence of life on Earth.</p>

746<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A brief history of the world&#8217;s first Astrobiologist</h2>
747
748
749
750<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Carl Sagan was an American astronomer, cosmologist, and astrobiologist. He was born in New York City in 1934 and received his undergraduate degree in physics from the University of Chicago. He later earned his Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of California, Berkeley.</p>
751
752
753
754<p class="wp-block-paragraph">
754Sagan is best known for his work as a science popularizer and communicator. He wrote numerous books and articles on science, and he was also a frequent guest on television programs, where he discussed scientific topics in a way that was accessible to a general audience. His most famous work is probably the television series &#8220;Cosmos,&#8221; which he wrote and hosted, and which aired in 1980. The series was hugely popular and has been credited with inspiring a new generation of scientists and explorers.</p>
755
756
757
758<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sagan&#8217;s research focused on the search for extraterrestrial life and the conditions necessary for its emergence and evolution. He was a leading astrobiology figure and significantly contributed to our understanding of the potential for life on other planets. He was also a vocal advocate for the importance of science and the need to invest in scientific research and education.</p>
759
760
761
762<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sagan died in 1996 at 62, but his legacy as a scientist and science popularizer remains. He remains one of the most influential and well-known figures in astronomy and astrobiology.</p>

814<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Identifying the top three astrobiologists was difficult, as many researchers have made significant contributions to the field. Here are my top three big names who have made significant contributions to the field and are widely recognized for their work:</p>
815
816
817
818<ol class="wp-block-list">
819<li><strong>Carl Sagan</strong> was an astronomer, cosmologist, and astrobiologist known for his popular science writing and work on the search for extraterrestrial life. He was the co-author of the book &#8220;Intelligent Life in the Universe,&#8221; considered a classic in astrobiology. </li>
820
821
822
823<li><strong>Lynn Margulis</strong> was a microbiologist and evolutionary theorist. She is known for her work on the endosymbiotic theory, which proposes that the eukaryotic cell, the type of cell that makes up most &#8220;evolved&#8221; life on Earth, evolved through the integration of multiple simpler cells. For example, a tiny energy-harvesting bacteria could have entered another bacteria for protection while giving its host bacteria the ability to harness energy. Over time, this energy-harvesting bacteria became the organalle, mitocondria. </li>
824
825
826
827<li><strong>Christopher McKay</strong> is an astrobiologist who has significantly contributed to our understanding of the potential for life on other planets. He has researched Mars&#8217;s habitability and has played a leading role in the search for microbial life on the planet.</li>

1051<div class="content clearfix">
1052<p>For the origin of life on Earth, ancient puddles or coastlines may have had a major ripple effect.</p>
1053<p>A new study shows that a simple class of molecules called alpha hydroxy acids <a href="https://www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1902336116" target="_blank" rel="noopener">forms microdroplets when dried and rewetted</a>, as could have taken place at the edges of water sources. These cell-sized compartments can trap RNA, and can merge and break apart — behavior that could have encouraged inanimate molecules in the primordial soup to give rise to life, researchers report July 22 in the <i>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences</i>.</p>
1054<p>Besides giving clues to how life may have gotten started on the planet, the work might have additional applications in both medicine and the search for extraterrestrial life.</p>
1055<p>Present-day biology relies on cells to concentrate nutrients and protect genetic information, so many scie
1055ntists think that compartments could have been important for life to begin. But no one knows whether the first microenclosures on Earth were related to modern cells.</p>
1056<p>“The early Earth was certainly a messy place chemically,” with nonbiological molecules such as alpha hydroxy acids potentially having roles in the emergence of life alongside biomolecules like RNA and their precursors, says biochemist Tony Jia of Tokyo Institute of Technology’s Earth-Life Science Institute.</p>
1057<p>Jia’s team focused on mixtures of alpha hydroxy acids, some of which are common in skin-care cosmetics. Though not as prominent as their chemical relatives amino acids, alpha hydroxy acids are plausible players in origin-of-life happenings because they frequently show up in meteorites as well as in experiments mimicking early Earth chemistry.</p>
1058<p>In 2018, a team led by geochemists Kuhan Chandru of the Earth-Life Science Institute and the National University of Malaysia at Bangi and H. James Cleaves, also of the Earth-Life Science Institute, demonstrated that, just though drying, <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s42004-018-0031-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">alpha hydroxy acids form repeating chains of molecules called polymers</a>. In the new study, the pair along with Jia and their colleagues found that rewetting the polymers led to the formation of microdroplets about the same diameter as modern red blood cells or cheek cells.</p>
1059<p>Prior studies have shown that <a href="https://www.sciencenews.org/article/life-earth-may-have-begun-dividing-droplets">simple molecules can form droplets</a>(<i>SN: 4/15/17, p. 11</i>).  The new work goes further in showing “that possibly prebiotically relevant molecules can form droplets,” says artificial cell expert Dora Tang of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, who wasn’t involved with the work.</p>
1060<p>In the lab, the team demonstrated that the droplets could trap and host molecules essential to life as we know it, such as RNA. The researchers also observed that a protein retained its function within the droplets and that fatty acids could assemble around the droplets.</p>
1061<p>Still, those findings don’t mean the microdroplets were Earth’s first cells or ancestors of them, Chandru cautions. Instead, he suggests that the droplets could have helped reactions along in emerging biochemical systems in the lead-up to the origin of life.</p>
1062<p>Though the team’s focus is origin-of-life studies, Jia points out that these microdroplets could potentially be engineered to deliver medications. The researchers note in their study that they may apply for a patent related to the work within the next year but have not specified an application.</p>
1063<p>The new research may also hold an important lesson for <a href="https://www.sciencenews.org/article/will-we-know-extraterrestrial-life-when-we-see-it">the search for extraterrestrial life</a> (<i>SN: 4/30/16, p. 28</i>). “We need to not only focus on detection of modern biomolecules and their precursors, but also other relevant nonbiomolecules” that, like alpha hydroxy acids, might have played supporting roles in the emergence of life, on Earth or elsewhere, Jia says.</p>
