This volume integrates the latest findings on earliest life forms,
identified and characterised in some of the oldest rocks on Earth.
New material from prominent researchers in the field is presented
and evaluated in the context of previous work. Emphasis is placed
on the integration of analytical methods with observational
techniques and experimental simulations. The opening section
focuses on submarine hot springs that the majority of researchers
postulates served as the cradle of life on Earth. In subsequent
sections, evidence for life in strongly metamorphosed rocks such as
those in Greenland is evaluated and early ecosystems identified in
the well preserved Barberton and Pilbara successions in Southern
Africa and Western Australia. The final section includes a number
of contributions from authors with alternate perspectives on the
evidence and record of early life on Earth. Audience This volume
will be valuable to researchers and graduate students in
biogeosciences, geochemistry, paleontology and geology interested
in the origin of life on earth.
