Join us for Astrobiology Magazine's latest podcast: "Naked Astrobiology" with our host Simon Mitton, and the second part of his interview with Simon Conway Morris, a paleontologist renowned for his insights into early evolution. In this segment of the interview, they discuss the development of life and how manipulation of the environment eventually leads to advanced technology.

As outlined in his newest book, "Life's Solution: Inevitable Humans in a Lonely Universe," Conway Morris says human-like forms could be a common result of evolution as life on a planet becomes increasingly complex.

Clicking on the title "Radio Astrobiology:Intelligent Forms" or on "Naked Astrobiology" will launch the podcast program.

Astrobiologists who try to track fossils back in time, hoping to find clues to the origin of life, often must end their pursuit at stromatolites. These fossilized structures are the earliest evidence for life on Earth. The oldest stromatolites date back 3.5 billion years. Although there is some controversy about whether these more ancient structures were produced by microbes or by non-biological processes, various lines of evidence suggest they were indeed formed by life.
