Shadow life

This article is about the scientific theory of Shadow life. For heavy metal album by Dokken, see Shadowlife.

Shadow life is a theory proposed by Paul Davies, which suggests that life may exist on Earth which has no evolutionary connection with any form of life currently known to science.[1][2][3] If shadow life actually exists, this would greatly increase the prior probability that extraterrestrial life has developed on other Earth-like planets.[4]
