    Exactly when and where did life on Earth begin? Scientists have long thought that it emerged three billion years ago in the ocean -- until astrobiologist Tara Djokic and her team made an unexpected discovery in the western Australian desert. Learn how an ancient rock found near a hot volcanic pool is shifting our understanding of the origin-of-life puzzle.

      true; however, there are bacteria that thrive in many environments, halophiles, psychrophiles, thermophiles, etc. Also, there are certain bacteria that consume gases such as Hydrogen sulfide. also there are aerobic and anaerobic bacteria which means that some bacteria don't love oxygen at all.

      concept1027
      Hey... you miss the point. Modern research into the Human biomesphere (as extended to all complex life) suggest that we are as parasitic of the microbes as they are of us. That their free lunch is ours. That in fact the degree of symbiosis is truly symbiotic, as in without our walking zoo of microbial life we would not and could not function and be complete at all.
      They ain't just hitchin' a free ride... they have helped form us as we are. They are an integral part.
      But I agree... she should stick to waving a rock around and theorising about life's Origins. Her comments on Complex Life leave a lot to be desired. Plants only photosynthesize and release oxygen for example, because they have incorporated the very same oxygen releasing bacteria she speaks of, into their cells. It is simply no good to suggest as she has that plants later took over the role of producing oxygen, since the bacteria are still there, and still responsible.

No ocean dwelling fish ever "crawled" out of the ocean to become a land animal, if this had occurred there would be millions upon millions in the fossil record indicating the slow progression of this mutation which, if it had occurred, would have put these mutating life forms in grave danger of survival due to their slow evolution and they most likely would died off long before attaining life on land. Evolution is junk science, period.

      Life is more likely to arrived to our planet as encapsulated bacteria and fungal spores than arising on earth.

      Dave Box
      Go look at my original replies to which you have left unanswered and you 'may' find out.
      Here is a summary (not that I expect you to reply with any substance, since interacting with real Science is not your thing.. you seem to just favour the non critical 'lovely' and the unquestioning 'interesting' as valid comment);
      You miss all kinds of points here in relation to bacterial microbes.
      Modern research into the Human biomesphere (as extended to all complex life) suggest that we are as parasitic of the microbes as they are of us. That their free lunch is ours. That in fact the degree of symbiosis is truly symbiotic, as in without our walking zoo of microbial life we would not and could not function and be complete at all.
      They ain't just hitchin' a free ride... they have helped form us as we are. They are an integral part.
      This Speaker should stick to waving a rock around and theorising about Life's Origins;
      Rock = X Years More Ancient Than Previously Expected, Origin of Life Is 'Perhaps' Geyser Related Rather Than Ocean Floor.
      And such is it... such is her thesis. Would take about 15 seconds to present.
      The rest is rather superfluous and inaccurate padding at best, and empty and unsubstantiated conjecture at worst.
      She makes a fool's play at pretending to know about (later) Complex Life formation. But her comments leave a lot to be desired.
      Plants only photosynthesize and release oxygen because they have incorporated the very same oxygen releasing bacteria she speaks of, into their cells.
      It is simply no good to suggest as she has that plants later took over the role of producing oxygen, since the bacteria are still there, and are still responsible.
      Likewise, her comment to suggest that microbial life's 3 billion year reign is over.
      They are both everywhere and continuingly instrumental.
      Beyond the rock and some life origin hypothesis.. I fail to understand the commentary.
      Largely superfluous and stage playing outside of it's core hypothesis.
      But as per usual plenty of children out there enjoyed it.

    For sure, whatever we are able to reveal in our past will help us to better understand what we are experiencing in the present. Obviously, there is always an earlier beginning, therefore, there is always more to the story. Because we are limited in how much earlier in time we can go (even as we continue to expand the scope of these limits), we can never really see the "Big Picture." Whatever we perceive, to what ever scope we can perceive it, it is never more than a fragment of the whole. As we are only able to perceive fragments and never the whole, there is nothing or anyone that is ever what it or they appear to be, nor is anything or anyone ever about what we suspect, think or believe it or they are about. Consequently, we never deal with actual facts, we deal with transitory "facts" and we deal with the interpretations of what we are able to perceive (the transitory facts) within our individualized scope of perceptions.That noted, we can always enlarge the picture that we can see. I encourage one and all to enlarge their "picture" of existence by exploring the past [not to believe but to integrate] through the book Revelatorium. There's no charge. It's available online. I suggest beginning with chapters (Starrgrams) 12 & 13. Respectively, Atlantis and The Crucifixion of Christ. IYI here's the link to Atlantis: www.revelatorium.com/starrgram12.html

    The complexity of life is and will always be mysterious event. I’m still waiting for a transitional form. Surely, with all of the evolution that supposedly took place we would find at least be able to find one

    What she’s leaving out is the fact that any decent organic chemist can explain to her that even with a good ‘soup’ it’s mathematically improbable that any amino acids that could’ve been available could ever actually form any proteins in a non-directed manner.

    Life has a very complex, intricate and magnificently defined operating structure. It is called DNA. There is not one example of "life" without this DNA "operating system" that organizes the protein factories that produce life. Question? Since the DNA precedes life, How do you "evolve" the complex DNA molecules that produce life? Question No. 2: Everything in the universe appears to be "devolving" from a higher state of energy, ie, organization, to a lower state. Examples: Suns die, not enhance, planets cool off, best theory is that is the way they are formed, by cooling, originating from a singularity. Why is "life" the only thing ever postulated to "evolve" into a higher state of energy, ie, organization? Seems contrary to the entire structure of the universe.

      "There is not one example of "life" without this DNA "operating system" that organizes the protein factories that produce life." Aaah......RNA containing viruses may beg to differ. "Everything in the universe appears to be "devolving" from a higher state of energy, ie, organization, to a lower state." Wrong. You should familiarize yourself with what happens in the Orion Nebula or the Ophiuchi Cloud complex, just to name some nearby examples. And you should learn a bit more about Entropy if you think it is a valid argument against the evolution of complexity.
