对于任何对生命起源感兴趣的人，我由衷推荐 Nick Lane 的《The Vital Question》，它总结了该领域大量最新的研究成果，还简要谈到了寒武纪生命大爆发。读起来非常过瘾，内容极其引人入胜。
For anyone interested in the origin of life I can heartily recommend Nick Lane's "The Vital Question", which sums up a lot of the most recent research in this area and also briefly talks about the Cambrian explosion. Really fascinating, deeply interesting stuff.
我目前正在读 Nick Lane 的大作《The Vital Question》，书中探讨了我们目前对古菌和真核生物分化的认知，所以看到这篇文章非常让人兴奋。这项发现虽然比那次分化还低了一个层级，处于真核生物内部，但目前正在进行的……
I'm currently reading Nick Lane's excellent book, The Vital Question, which explores what we know about the split between archaea and eukaryotes, so this was an exciting article. This discovery is still one level below that split, within the eukaryotes, but the ongoing…

Nick Lane 写的《The Vital Question》是一本相当不错的书，它从热力学优先的角度来切入这个问题。
The Vital Question, by Nick Lane is a pretty good book that takes a thermodynamics first approach to this question.
报道里介绍的作者 Nick Lane 此前写过一本非常发人深省的书，叫《The Vital Question》。讨论了一些类似的观点，尤其是生物学家们（完全可以理解地！）自 1953 年发现 DNA 以来，把大量精力都放在了信息论上。但他们却忽略了去整合理解……
The author profiled in the piece, Nick Lane, wrote a really thought-provoking earlier book called The Vital Question. Addresses some similar points, esp the aspect where biologists have (understandably!) focused a lot on information theory since 1953 DNA discovery. But that they have neglected integrating understanding…
