Summary

One of the fundamental questions of humanity is where did we come from? How did life on Earth come about?

0:00.0	Hey everyone this is Gary. I'm off this week visiting the beautiful Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
0:04.8	where hopefully I will not be stranded due to a hurricane. I've hand selected some of my favorite
0:09.5	episodes for you to enjoy this week which statistically speaking I know most of you haven't listened to yet.
0:14.8	I will be back again next week fully rested with fresh new episodes for you to enjoy.
0:19.6	One of the fundamental questions of humanity is where did we come from. How did life on Earth come about?
0:28.0	While there have been many theories as to how this could have happened, in 1952, one man decided to actually run an experiment

1:30.0	The only thing there would have been is chemistry. The metaphor, which has commonly been used to describe this environment is a
1:36.2	primordial soup, probably water in an atmosphere of simple common chemicals.
1:41.6	This transition from chemistry to biology is known as a biogenesis. Speculation
1:47.2	for how simple chemical compounds became the basis for more complex organic compounds
1:52.3	and then the building blocks for life itself
1:54.8	were just that speculation. It happened so long ago that there wasn't a lot of
