Dating back 3.5 billion years, the finding (published in the journal Nature (https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms15263) on Tuesday) moves back evidence of life on land by 580 million years. And **t only that, it hints at the possibility that life on Earth began **t in the ocean, as commonly thought, but on land-based hot springs. *Mind blown** Read more...
