(I wasn't quite sure which biology subsection to post this in)
Primordial sea/probiotic soup/primeval soup, whichever term you want to use...
I have become very interested in evolution recently, although my knowledge, I think is still fairly limited. The whole process, and the history of it excites my imagination on so many levels, and so I thought I would try to apply what we know of our evolution to some kind of prose, beginning with the primordial sea.
However, a lot of the description is quite technical and doesn't come close to a descriptive idea of what the whole thing actually looked like. I've been trying my best, taking some poetic liberties, but I don't want to be too far off the mark.
And so, I come here. Can any of you help? Any information that you think would improve my efforts is gratefully accepted.
