Patterns found in the formation of amino acids in meteorites and hydrothermal vents indicate that the building blocks of life could be common to all species in the universe and that we could share a common genetic foundation with alien species'.
The building blocks of life may be more than merely common in the cosmos. Humans and aliens could share a common genetic foundation. That's the tantalizing implication of a pattern found in the formation of amino acids in meteorites, deep-sea hydrothermal vents, and simulations of primordial Earth. The pattern appears to follow basic thermodynamic laws, applicable throughout the known universe. "
