Do you ever stop to consider what an amazingly successful animal humans are?

We've out competed virtually every other animal on the planet for land and resources.
We can change our environment to an incredible degree in order to suit our needs.
We've expanded and settled virtually every continent on the planet.

Amazing evolutionary success.

and yet the cell is so complex that we don't fully understand it

And yet?

Axeroberts · 56-60, M

@Pikachu it is what makes life. so we don't understand life but claim we know these processes

@Axeroberts

Well we do understand a lot about it even if we don't understand everything....but i'm not quite sure how that pertains to the subject at hand?

Axeroberts · 56-60, M

@Pikachu i guess i am being humble about the human race because we really don't know as much as we think

@Axeroberts

There's an awful lot we don't know and may never know...but that doesn't change the fact that we are absolutely crushing it, evolutionarily speaking.

@Axeroberts The fact that we have identified the 'simple' single cell, are asking those questions, and realising the limitations of our knowledge, is quite remarkable in itself.

@Axeroberts in what way does the cell 'make life'?

Axeroberts · 56-60, M

@newjaninev2 life happens on the molecular level.

newjaninev2 · 56-60, F

@Axeroberts Yes, life is a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution
