Genesis - In The Beginning deals with the origin and diversity of
Life and early biological evolution and discusses the question of
where (hot or cold sources) and when the beginning of Life took
place. Among the sections are chapters dealing with prebiotic
chemical processes and considering self-replication of polymers in
mineral habitats. One chapter is dedicated to the photobiological
regime on early Earth and the emergence of Life. This volume covers
the role of symmetry, information and order (homochrial
biomolecules) in the beginning of Life. The models of protocells
and the genetic code with gene transfer are important topics in
this volume. Three chapters discuss the Panspermia hypothesis (to
answer "Are we from outer Space?"). Other chapters cover the
Astrobiological aspects of Life in the Universe in extraterrestrial
Planets of the Solar System and deal with cometary hydrosphere (and
its connection to Earth). We conclude with the history and
frontiers of Astrobiogy.
