520    The Earth teems with life: in its oceans, forests, skies 
       and cities. Yet there’s a black hole at the heart of 
       biology. We do not know why complex life is the way it is,
       or, for that matter, how life first began. In The Vital 
       Question, award-winning author and biochemist Nick Lane 
       radically reframes evolutionary history, putting forward a
       solution to conundrums that have puzzled generations of 
       scientists.
