How on Earth did life begin? Lee Cronin, Perry Marshall and Denis Noble on the origins of life

from Unbelievable? · host Justin Brierley

Can chemistry crack the mystery of the origin of life? Or does the information required for Life to begin point beyond naturalistic explanations? Justin is joined by Perry Marshall who has established the $10m Evolution 2.0 Prize for anyone who can show a natural explanation for life. Lee Cronin of Glasgow University is confident that his experimental research could win it. Denis Noble also joins the conversation as they discuss the nature of life and whether current evolutionary theory can account for its origins.
