About this book

Follow Graham Cairns-Smith's journey back in time, breaking down the building blocks of life into ever smaller units. Is there a link between inorganic and organic material? Could life, as we know it, have evolved from crystals? It sounds crazy but keep reading and you may begin to doubt everything you thought you knew about evolution! A great, easy read with some lovely real-life examples.
