00:00Darwin's Warm Pond, the theory that anticipated the future.

00:04Have you ever wondered where life really began?

00:07Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is one of the pillars of modern science.

00:12But there is a lesser-known story, almost a secret in his writings.

00:17In an 1871 letter, Darwin, the naturalist who taught us about natural selection,

00:24dared to speculate on the origin of life.

00:26For him, it didn't arise in a vast ocean, but in a warm little pond on land.

00:32A place rich in chemical compounds, bathed in sunlight and electricity,

00:37where the molecules of life could concentrate.

00:40This idea, ahead of its time, contrasted with the primordial soup vision in the ocean.

00:47Darwin believed that in this small environment, cycles of wetness and dryness

00:50would have catalyzed the formation of crucial biological compounds

00:54like RNA and lipids.

00:57The most astonishing thing is that today, more than 150 years later,

01:02modern science, with figures like Lena Vincent and John Sutherland,

01:08is exploring precisely these conditions.

01:17Their research suggests that small ponds exposed to UV radiation and cycles of evaporation

01:24could have been the perfect breeding ground for the chemistry of life.

01:28Darwin even suggested that if it weren't for existing organisms consuming them,

01:33new life might still be forming today.

01:35Thus, Darwin's legacy is not only in his masterpiece, but in a simple blade of grass,

01:41in the vision of a warm little pond that, surprisingly,

01:45resonates with the most cutting-edge scientific debates of our time.
