The Very First Cell

The video explores the evolution of humans, tracing back to a single ancestor shared by all living things. It describes the early Earth conditions, the formation of a prebiotic soup, and the chemical reactions that led to the creation of complex molecules. These molecules eventually formed structures capable of growth and energy conversion, marking the beginnings of life on Earth.
