Where did we come from? Our green and blue planet is teeming with life, but it was not always like that. Over billions of years, the first “primordial soup” which saw the origins of life have led to humans, cats, ferns and butterflies in great evolutionary changes over the aeons.
In this episode of Huh? Science Explained, Evrim Yazgin takes us back to where it all began to find out how life on our planet first started billions of years ago.
