Dear Friammers,
Today's meeting of the Mother Church got back to our old discussions of complexity, gradients, and the origin of life. In that connection I urged everybody to read Nick Lane's, THE VITAL QUESTION: Energy, evolution, and the origins of complex life. The fundamental theory is that life was scaffolded by the microstructure and energy flows taking place in deep ocean vents called "white smokers". I am curious to know if others have read this book, and what you might think of it. Nicholas S.
