Abiogenesis.
As opposed to biogenesis, which is the creation of living organisms by other living organisms. We're on the verge of creating life in labs.
My question: Can there be more than one tree of life? On earth we have one very well established tree with branches that account for every single species.
This tree is based on 4 nucleotides. Will we be able to assemble artificial DNA using other amino acids? Will we find extraterrestrial life with a different DNA base?
Why did only one tree of life come to be? Is there only one formula for life?
We live in a thrilling age of discovery.
