Darwinian Evolution of Molecules Physical and Earth-Historical Persp
On the basis of thermodynamic considerations and the Earth’s historical processes, this book argues the physical inevitability of life’s generation and evolution, i.e., Why did life generate? Why does life evolve? Following an introduction to the problem,

Darwinian Evolution of Molecules Physical and Earth-Historical Perspective of the Origin of Life

Studies in the twentieth century uncovered groundbreaking facts in geophysics and produced a radically new picture of the Earth’s history. However, in some respects it also created more puzzles for the research community of the twenty-first century to tackle. This book series aims to present the state of the art of contemporary geological studies and offers the opportunity to discuss major open problems in geosciences and their phenomena. The main focus is on physical geological features such as geomorphology, petrology, sedimentology, geotectonics, volcanology, seismology, glaciology, and their environmental impacts. The monographs in the series, including multi-authored volumes, will examine prominent features of past events up to their current status, and possibly forecast some aspects of the foreseeable future. The guiding principle is that understanding the fundamentals and applied methodology of overlapping fields will be key to paving the way for the next generation.
