The Vital Question

The Vital Question

Bill Gates just released his list of five books everyone should read this summer. One of them looks very interesting. It’s called The Vital Question. In the book, author and biochemist Nick Lane posits a new idea about how life began on earth. How did life make a radical jump to complexity more than 4 billion years ago? It’s about energy, as Nick explains in this video. I’m looking forward to reading it.
