Description : From its ancient Greek roots to Lovelock's groundbreaking 1979 book, the concept of Gaia has evolved to depict Earth as a single, intricate organism sustaining life through the interplay of its organic and inorganic elements. From the Hadean epoch, where life's emergence radically transformed our planet, to the present, Earth stands as our sole model for understanding life's potential on other Earth-like worlds. While the lifeforms that evolve on Earth-like planets would not necessarily be identical to those on Earth, they must satisfy the same constraints. These constraints are the central subject of this book.Exploring Earth's early conditions during the Hadean era, when oceans dominated and oxygen was scarce, the book illuminates the daunting challenges
