Where life begins

Abstract

Recent laboratory studies of meteorites which, when combined with astronomical data on interstellar dust and prestellar molecular clouds, point to the evolution of a primitive biological system in interstellar space, are discussed. It is suggested that meteorites, which carried such systems, could have brought life to our planet.
