Is Earth the only place in the universe where life appeared? Does or did life exist on Mars? Does intelligent life exist elsewhere? This seminar will explore the question of whether we're alone in the universe. Topics will include the origin of life, the search for life (past and present) in the universe, the search for extraterrestrial intelligent life, the future of life on Earth, and the impact of any such discoveries on science and society.
Professor Stanley Awramik, Geological Sciences, is a paleobiologist who studies the early history of life on Earth. He teaches History of Life, Historical Geology, as well as advanced courses in the geological sciences.
