“What is the Earliest Evidence for Life on Earth?”

It used to be assumed, more or less, that, if you simply threw enough time at the problem of the origin of life on Earth, that puzzle would effectively solve itself.  After all, given random chance and enough time, essentially anything is possible, right?

Now, we’re finding that life appeared on Earth as soon as it was physically possible for it do so — sooner, in fact, than we had even thought it possible.

That’s really interesting.
