The origin of life. From the nebula to the cage

Amazed at the beauty and diversity of the world, people wondered for centuries: how did it appear? How did the planets form on one of which have life? Why is earthly life based on carbon and uses four types of links in DNA? Where in the universe it is worth looking for other forms of life, and how can they differ from us? This book contains the latest answers of scientists to these questions. And although there are no simple ways in the front edge of science, the author honestly tried to do everything possible so that the book was clear to readers far from biology. He logically and clearly formulates his ideas and with enthusiasm talks about how a living cage arose from cosmic dust and meteorites through hot springs at the foot of volcanoes to populate and transform the entire planet
