Presented by Dr Peter Pfeifer FFARCS PhD

The main part of this lecture is the chemistry and physics of how Life started, followed by the history of this Life Force evolution. It is not about animal and plant evolution; David Attenborough has beautifully covered that already. An analogy for the Life Force is a computer program; animals and plants are like computers, merely the hosts for the Life Force program. The 1952 Miller-Urey theory is not the answer.

Dr Peter Pfeifer is formerly the Consultant Anaesthetist (and research Biochemist) at Robert Jones Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, Shrewsbury, UK.

This lecture is part of the 2024 History of Medicine and Science Lecture Series, sponsored by The Otago Medical School Alumni Association.
