Harvard Begins Study Into the Origins of Life
From Times Wire Services
Harvard University is joining the long-running debate over evolution by launching a research project to study how life began.
The team of researchers will receive $1 million in funding annually from Harvard over the next few years. The project begins with an admission that some mysteries about life’s origins cannot be explained.
“My expectation is that we will be able to reduce this to a very simple series of logical events that could have taken place with no divine intervention,” said David R. Liu, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard.
Biological evolution is a fundamental scientific concept that maintains species have changed over time.
