Spoons Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 While not directly about fossils, I think this news might have some relevance to the field of paleontology as a whole. A big question I think we ask ourselves in our field is how life on earth began, and if it originated here, or elsewhere. This new paper could shed some light on the possibility that life could have originated elsewhere in our universe. Here’s a link to the paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.11688 Heres a link to a news article explaining the paper for all the laymen out there(myself included):https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-claim-to-have-found-the-first-known-extraterrestrial-protein-in-a-meteorite/amp 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
