What does the origin of life on Earth have to do with malignant tumour cells? In an unusual research project, a geochemist and a tumour biologist have joined forces to explain the emergence of animals in a new way, thereby questioning one of the cornerstones of evolution. Geochemist Emma Hammarlund is excited to see what kind of response she and Sven Påhlman will get based on their conclusions. We
