Before photosynthesis, at a time when the atmosphere contained only trace amounts of oxygen, early bacteria were using chemosynthesis to obtain the nutrients they needed from methane and sulfur. Not to say this story wasn't interesting, but it would have been better left to another book. Clearly explaining the theories and practices of the interdisciplinary sciences involved, this book is one of the best books on evolution I've read. This was a good, readable (occasionally a little technical) popular science book on the early years of life on Earth, before abundant animal fossils started appearing it the fossil record, well before dinosaurs, before even trilobites, the most famous of Paleozoic marine fauna. Knoll has a knack for writing understandable science and clearly explaining why scientists think what they think about early life and what evidence there is sup. Chemistry was my science of choice in college, but I hadn't really kept up in the interim, I found the more recent advances in our understanding of how early single-celled life developed and evolved and created the conditions for more complex life by modifying the atmosphere engrossing. And what survives and brings life back each time the planet dies, as it does, either a little bit or a lot, every 26 million years. In a nutshell - exceptional. These could sterilize closely orbiting planets where life had only begun to get a toehold. Knoll deftly defeats this prejudice by pointing out that while animals are the kings of morphological variety, it is the microorganisms that are the exemplars of metabolism.

That means the vast majority of this book is about rocks, microbes and fossil microbes - with a bit of chemistry, earth science and comparative evolutionary biology to flesh things out. We owe our habitable planet (and its established biogeochemical cycles) to the metabolism of tiny living beings from long, long ago. In a new preface, Knoll describes how the field has broadened and deepened in the decade since the book's original publication. The detection of a gas in the planetâs atmosphere could turn scientistsâ gaze to a planet long overlooked in the search for extraterrestrial life. After all, on planet Earth it took just a few hundred million years to create the first bacteria, but it took almost 3 billion years to create the first large creatures, like worms or trilobites. The geological eon that is the focus of this book was a time when the world was alien, with at times relatively little oxygen, or covered almost to the equator in ice, or when the largest organism for staggeringly long periods of time was bacteria, a time that in some locations leaves abundant fossils, but are not a bone or a shell or carapace sticking out on a cliffside but microscopic ones, only able to be seen in a lab after preparation (though one learns on reading the book, towards the end there were definitely fossils that could easily be seen with the naked eye or even before the end if one knows what one is looking at such as with stromatolite fossils). What I like about it is that its not so abstract and heavy on the theory like other books on similar subjects seem to be, it focuses mostly on the facts and presents a few theories very clearly when facts are not present. Because our Sun has nurtured life on Earth for nearly 4 billion years, conventional wisdom would suggest that stars like it would be prime candidates in the search for other potentially habitable worlds. Knoll knows how to present the relatively uneventful evolution of unicellular life interesting and with style. You need to have some geology vocabulary to have an easy-read, but that also helps to dive deeper into the topics and show a more nuanced discussion.
