There was no mention of the admittedly unfashionable panspermia proposal, the idea that life came from beyond Earth. While it doesn’t explain the origin of life, it could, if true, mean that the first organisms didn’t come into being here, but in a different environment. In this hypothesis, life on Earth began not when the environment became conducive to its creation, but when it became compatible with some existing life forms that fell from the sky.
