Chapter 15 - The
History of Life on Earth
- From
Primordial Soup to the Prebiotic Beach -
This "Access Excellence" Web site presents an interview with Dr.
Stanley Miller, who first synthesized amino acids in his famous 1953
experiment. Dr. Miller describes the early prebiotic experiments that led to
his own classic study and why his work was more successful. There is even an
animated illustration of the apparatus he used. This interview addresses
many of the basic questions in the study of the origin of life on Earth and
of exobiology, the study of life beyond Earth. There are numerous links to
other sites relating to this issue.
