Episode notes

There is indirect evidence like carbon left by the activity of life, not life itself. We don't know how fast life happened on earth. They are signs right now showing that it might have actually originated only 200 million years after the cross cool down. So all of this speculation, obviously we haven't found any evidence or solid evidence yet. This is why I am one of those scientists who thinks that life might not be so far from the surface than we think.
