The moon and the origin of life

Authors: C.R. Benn
Comments: 7 pages, accepted for publication in Earth, Moon and Planets
Journal-ref: Earth, Moon and Planets 85/86, 61 (2001)

     Earth is unusual in bearing life, and in having a large moon. A
     number of authors have suggested a possible connection between the
     two, e.g. through lunar stabilisation of the earth's obliquity, or
     through the effects of the oceanic tides. The various suggestions
     are reviewed.
