Artificial Life. In 1870, Scientist Huxley declared it would be "the height of presumption" to suppose that chemists would not some day be able to bring together the constituents of protoplasm under such conditions that they would assume vital properties. Professor Treat Baldwin Johnson of Yale cited sulphur-dwelling bacilli as an example of the sort of artificial life chemists might hope to produce first. These bacilli thrive and multiply in a solution of sulphuric acid, needing no sunlight, prime requisite of most other plants. Self-sufficient in an inorganic environment, these bacteria may have been the link between...
