This page contains a transcript of an interview with Dr. Gunter Wachtershauser about his iron-sulfur world theory of the origins of life. He discusses the methodology by which he arrived at the theory, as well as evidence for and flaws or gaps in the various theories of abiogenesis. The history of the theories touches on many notable figures, and there are photographs of these individuals on the page. There are numerous references to primary scientific literature embedded in the interview text. This would be a good resource for teachers or students at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level.
