Where did the first cells come from? How did birds first take flight? If we evolved from monkeys, why do monkeys still exist? 3.8 billion years ago, single celled organisms formed in scolding hot-water vents in the sea. Now the earth is teaming with life, from birds soaring through the skies to our own species (homo sapiens) living in constructed cities. How did this happen?
