no other researcher alive speaks like Prof. Smith: with such clarity, seriousness and unambiguous that it wouldn't surprise me if I were to find some College paper by him on Russell or Wittgenstein. It's true, he comes from the Physics crowd, but they today, are as much grouped as mathematicians, professors and researchers. as Lab practitioners/technicians; But it's the distinction (as category) and cautiousness of the logic involved in the argument, that makes these biology lectures so refreshing and of this height and stakes..

I agree. I really find him one of the foremost experts on early life and early metabolism. He seems to have a unique understanding of biological ecosystems that I’ve never heard anyone else use and explain he can explain things clearly yet has a profound grasp of the underlying biochemical pathways underneath his hypotheses. His book is a challenging read, absolutely loved it but it’s not for the faint hearted. If your are interested in this topic can I also suggest you look up Nick Lane , he’s put all his publications online nick-lane.net. His books are for the general public and very accessibility.
