Abstract

In the deep-frozen permafrost soil in Siberia, cryobiotically preserved nematodes were found during thawing, which had not moved about since the last ice age. For the first time since 40,000 years, after being given a chance to absorb food from a nutrient solution, they lived on!

I believe in aliens. I think it would be way too selfish of us as mankind to believe we are the only lifeforms in the universe.
