Humans have pondered our origins for 50,000 years. In seeking evidence, scientists discovered that the essence of all life is in its chemistry.

The breakthroughs of the chemical building blocks of life, and how we're using this knowledge to understand the chemistry of love and parenthood, help combat previously untreatable diseases, and reverse the declines of age.

If the history of earth were condensed into 24 hours, humans would have existed for just two seconds. This is the story of our chemically induced crises, and how chemistry must be at the core of our future solutions.
