    So it might be that life started inside rocks (with tiny amounts of water) deep underground and not in the water on the surface.

    In case anyone wonders over the low vote count, for me just now, the link only briefly shows the article before swapping it for a paywall.

      Strange. It is working for me without pay wall.

      Maybe some random or cookies thing?

      just use ublock or noscript (why does that even have to be said on HN?)

      it's a fascinating story worth reading

          Because paywalls are trivial to bypass and it's exhausting hearing people constantly complain about them. The GP in this thread has been on HN for 10 years. They should know how to bypass it by now. Hell, four minutes after they posted someone posted the bypassed link.
