Re: First life form on earth

DearNorman,
Thanks very very much for your guidance.
I have bought  a Biology book by Dr. Sylvia S Mader.  About 1000 pages.
McGrawHill
I think this book is very user friendly,  extremely colorful, very generous
with diagrams and illustrations.
I checked and found what we were discussing about all  inside the book.
It is the Eight Edition.  When I tried to see its date of publication,  it
is  2004.
It appeared to me to be tailored for  the self study  student because there
is an Online Rsources facility available to the book purchaser with a  given
Registration number code.
The book is in the  website is http://www.mhhe.com/maderbiologist8
Joachim should have a look at this.
Cost me US$19.80.  Not expensive.
I tried to dig which University Dr. Sylvia was attached to but was silent in
the book.  Likely she is enjoying her retirement.

Thanks
Khoon
