Science news: Octopuses came to Earth from space as frozen eggs millions of years ago

[RoosGirl]

OCTOPUSES are “aliens” which evolved on another planet before arriving on Earth hundreds of millions of years ago as “cryopreserved” eggs via a process known as panspermia, radical new research has suggested.

The extraordinary claims were made in a report entitled Cause of Cambrian Explosion – Terrestrial or Cosmic? which was co-authored by a group of 33 scientists and published in the Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology journal.

The paper suggests that the explanation for the sudden flourishing of life during the Cambrian era – often referred to as the Cambrian Explosion – lies in the stars, as a result of the Earth being bombarded by clouds of organic molecules.

I'm having a little bit of trouble with this story.

I'm having a little bit of trouble with this story.

This isn't a new hypothesis. The Hoyle-Wickramasinghe (H-W) thesis of cometary panspermia is old.

The question is the evidence they use to support the idea. It must be beyond mere speculation alone.
