After decades of teaching how life began, scientists now say we could have been wrong about the origin of life on Earth.
That’s because, for decades, science textbooks have taught students that an influx of oxygen into the Earth’s oceans helped accelerate the development and evolution of complex life on Earth. However, this new study could completely disprove that theory, which means textbooks may be teaching students a false truth about how life on Earth began.
Up until now, that prevailing theory has been based on the idea that the Precambrian Avalon explosion – which is essentially the era when life began to evolve and become more complex between 685 to 800 million years ago – was based on a massive influx of oxygen, as I noted above. However, this new study seems to suggest that oxygen did not in fact control the development of the Earth.
This revelation means that the current theories taught in school textbooks are most likely wrong. Scientists say that oxygen probably played some role in the
