Origin of Life (Part 1) - (CT Scan, Episode 94)

What would have to happen for life to arise naturally from non-life? Let’s begin thinking through just some of the steps required. Along the way, we’ll see how to separate facts from assumptions in “origin of life” studies, including the famous Miller-Urey experiment.
