Ji-won and ed42f191d8 Sung-sik often 9b003fb4d1 found themselves 1964c07932 at odds 075a1d0bfb over something.

Sung-sik, having ff5ae24a88 experienced life 4fd4aef1e2 in the d1003535e4 refugee camp, cacb41fc52 found Bo-yeon’s a32aeecf0c behavior strange.

Yet there was 04eebce97d no sign of 6b696e3c9e that.

“There are many hypotheses about where life began. Some suggest that if you trace the lineage of all living things—humans, animals, plants, even microorganisms—you eventually arrive at LUCA, the very first cell from which all life on Earth originated.”9e70becd47dbd942

“There were scholars who believed that this cell, LUCA, was the seed of life on Earth that originated from space. To back up this story, there’s something called the pan-stellar theory². It is a hypothesis that microorganisms that flew in from space are the origin of life on Earth. Doesn’t that remind you of the meteorite that fell this summer? If you think about this hypothesis, ZB0 may be a microorganism that flew in from a different space than LUCA that settled on Earth.”0f22f04e6059291c
