About this listen

Life didn’t begin with a roar. It began with goo.

Before brains, bones, bugs, or breathing, Earth was just a soup of chemicals getting zapped by lightning until something clicked.

This is the story of what happened next.

From the first self-replicating molecule to the rise of humans with god complexes, From Goo to You is a ride through four billion years of biology. The true story of how atoms turned into cells, cells turned into creatures, and creatures started asking, "What even is life?"

This isn’t your biology teacher’s version of life. This is evolution with attitude. Slime molds. Mitochondria deals. Sex. Death. Photosynthesis. Dinosaurs. CRISPR. AI. The whole mess.

If you’ve ever wondered how life got weird, this is your answer.
