- Abstract
Argues that the development of anoxygenic and oxygenic photosynthesis allowed hyperthermophilic life to escape the hydrothermal setting. Likelihood that the Earth has gone through hot ocean bottlenecks; Possibility that early hyperthermophile life may have been non-photosynthetic; Estimated date at which most principle biochemical pathways that sustain the modern biosphere evolved and became global. INSETS: Geological timescales;Hydrothermal systems;Gala in the Archaean?.
