 GW News Center: Research Questions Evidence for Earliest Life

However, the article by Christopher Fedo, from The George Washington University's Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, and Martin Whitehouse, at the Swedish Museum of Natural History, reports that the story about the rocks is much more complicated, and the carbon isotopic basis for interpreting life is questionable.
