What is life?

Life is only present on planet Earth. It is the aspect of existence of an individual human being or
animal that distinguishes matter with biological processes. It has the capacity to carry out
functions including eating, metabolizing, excreting, breathing, moving, growing, reproducing,
energy conversion, and reacting to external stimuli. All living things is made up of one or more
cells. Atoms produce molecules, which in turn produce the cell organelles and other structures.
Then, tissues join forces to create organs like the heart and lungs that carry out certain
functions needed by the body as a whole. Living organisms may evolve, which means that
populations' genetic compositions can vary over time. A heritable feature that gives a population
a fitness advantage may spread across the population over generations, improving the group's
environmental suitability. This procedure is referred to as adaptation. The australopithecus
afarensis, which derived from homo sapiens, represents the earliest stage of human evolution.
