"We travel
together on a little spaceship, dependent on its vulnerable
reserves of air and soil, committed for our safety to its
security and peace, preserved from annihilation only by the
care, work, and I will say, the love we give our fragile
craft."
Adlai E. Stevenson

Definition: "Biology is the
science of life (from the Greek words bios = life and logos =
reasoned account). It is concerned with the characteristics
and behaviors of organisms, how species and individuals come
into existence, and the interactions they have with each other
and with their environment. Biology encompasses a broad
spectrum of academic fields that are often viewed as
independent disciplines. Together, they study life over a wide
range of scales." Source:

Human Prehistory: An Exhibition The evolution of Human Species followed different stages
beginning with the Australopithecus and continuing with
homo habilis, homo erectus and homo sapiens. The last
stages include those people who lived thousands of years
ago in the Paleolithic and Neolithic Age and are the
immediate ancestors of modern man. The discovery of the
evolution of man is attributed to two scientists of the
19th century: Sir Charles Lyell and Charles Darwin.

The Astrobiology Web Astrobiology seeks to understand the origin of the
building blocks of life, how these biogenic compounds
combine to create life, how life affects - and is
affected by the environment from which it arose,
and finally, whether and how life expands beyond its
planet of origin. None of these questions is by any
means new - but for the first time since
they were posed, these questions may now be answerable.
Astrobiology seeks to provide a philosophical and
programmatic underpinning whereby life's place in the
universe can be explored - at levels of inter-related
complexity ranging from molecular to galactic.
