Late-1990s developments in the study of thermophiles have had considerable significance on theories of evolution. These micro-organisms are able to thrive at temperatures near or even above 100 degrees Celsius, and scientists have begun to study their biology in an attempt to provide clues about the beginnings of life on our planet.
Researchers from diverse background such as biology, genetics, biogeochemistry, oceanography, systematics and evolution come together in this comprehensive volume to address questions such as: Why did life originate? Was the Earth at high temperatures when life began, and if so, how high? What can we conclude about the origins of life from studying thermophilic organisms?

Etat : Very Good. xx, 346, text figs. . HB. Vg. From the library of Prof. J. Green (1928-2016) with his name to endpaper. An important late twentieth-century collection on thermophilic and hyperthermophilic microorganisms and their implications for molecular evolution and theories of the origin of life. Bringing together leading research on Archaea, Bacteria, molecular phylogeny, thermostable enzymes and early cellular evolution, the work reflects the rapid expansion of extremophile research during the 1980s and 1990s and the growing recognition that organisms inhabiting high-temperature environments might provide clues to some of the deepest branches of the evolutionary tree.
