Abstract: This review article summarizes the three turning points in time that were crucial to evolution: biopoiesis (origin of life), ecopoiesis (origin of ecosystems), and eukaryopoiesis (origin of eukaryotic cells). The article also reviews life in the deep biosphere, the contributions of Vernadsky and Lovelock, the deepest roots of life, life underground, and metabolism at the deep subsurface.
