A Better Atmosphere for Life
Richard A. Kerr

Introduction:
Thirty years ago, geochemists took away the primordial soup that biologists thought they needed to cook up the first life on Earth. Now, some atmospheric chemists are trying to give it back. They're suggesting that the early Earth could have held onto much more of its volcanic hydrogen--a key ingredient in the recipe for making the organic compounds that may have led to the first life.
