Argh - had to return this to the library before really starting it. To be continued…

Can't follow through via Audible.

Too complex for me. Can't follow it on Audible. Will read the Kindle version instead.

lane spent a whole lot of time on simpler mechanisms of eukaryotic evolution and then uses ~ 4 paragraphs to talk about germline evolution and multicellularity😭

i really enjoyed the second section of the book and the postulation of the chemistry —> biochemistry transition for life to begin. i do wish lane dug deeper into the origins of the genetic code and the central dogma, however. at least now, it leaves a gaping hole in his argument for proton gradient-generating proteins, membrane specialization, and otherwise critical process that need to be conserved for evolution.

really great so far—i liked the recap of some pertinent history (margulis, woese) to contextualize lane’s rebuttal and reshaping of the framework of the evolution of complex life. but this next section has left me having to re-read paragraphs due to some lack of cohesiveness. maybe it’s a skill issue though.

ok

fuck bcb no me dona temps a llegir

Some stuffed I’ve learned at school don’t seem right at all

This book is a treatise of sorts, pushing the boundaries of what is current common knowledge to propose new ideas and interpretations. It is well-argued and interesting, and I look forward to seeing how the ideas hold up to scrutiny over the upcoming decades. I will definitely be checking this book out from the library again soon so I can finish understanding his argument.

I want to read

I have just ordered the book.

Nice read so far. Forgot already part of it. Why did complexity only evolve once.

Requires too much previous knowlege of biology and biochemistry. Hardly graspable for the layman.

incredible so far.

Way heavier on detailed chemistry than I anticipated.

Positively impressed, so far.

I’m abandoning it.

final Chapter:

probably the most difficult chapter, to untange, the meanings of NRG equilibrium on eukaryots

and after all this intense bombardment of info, he tells you...


... that in the next chapter, we'll explore why complex forms of life, are ( expercted to be?) rare, in the universe

Is there no end, to these problems/Qs, aaah

He's probalby meaning Luca, or as he terms it later on LECA

Some good information, but I just can’t stay focused on it.

After reading the Introduction, I’m very excited to learn more about why and how energy (protons) has a huge impact on cell’s evolution.

A single cell contains hundreds or thousands of mitochondria. Your 40 trillion cells contain at least a quadrillion mitochondria, with a combined convoluted surface area of about 14,000 square metres; about four football fields. Their job is to pump protons, and together they pump more than 1021 of them – nearly as many as there are stars in the known universe – every second.
