Book Synopsis
The origin of cells remains one of the most fundamental problems in biology, one that over the past two decades has spawned a large body of research and debate. This book offers a comprehensive, impartial take on that research and the controversies that keep the field in turmoil.

Trade Review
"This book is a rare pleasure: a beautiful, rational, wise, and eloquent framing of life's greatest mysteries, what remains to be known, and how we might get there. It should be read by anyone who wonders, seriously, how we came to be. If it does not provide all the answers, that is because we honestly do not know." (Nick Lane, University College London)"
