Knowing how life began on planet Earth is one of the main targets of science. A number of researchers from England have a new theory. They believe the key to the mysteries of early life forms on Earth would be in the month.

Researchers say, the stones that come from the planet Earth was thrown to the moon when the Earth and asteroids bombarded the inner planets (planets closest to the sun) others.
For information, about 4 billion years ago, there was a meteor shower phenomenon known as the Late Heavy bombardment. At that time, the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are bombarded by thousands of asteroids and meteorites that hit the surface of the planet.
Terrible phenomenon that lasted for 300 million years that have diverse effects on planets when it was young, one of which is hurling billions of tons of material from the surface of the planet into space.
In the case of Earth, most of the material is likely to make it to the moon. This hypothesis is very plausible, given at the south pole of the Earth have found a proven meteorite came from Mars.
Therefore, it is possible to assume that the inner planets exchanging material as Late Heavy bombardment. Similarly, the Earth and Moon are also mutual exchange of material.
According to some experts from the University of London Birkbeck College School of Earth Sciences, Earth's material that has landed on the Moon with a smooth making it possible biological markers remain stored properly.
Quoted from Softpedia, a research team headed by Ian Crawford and Emily Baldwin said biological signs that it will not be able to survive on Earth because of the large meteor impact, erosion caused by wind and rain, volcanic activity, earthquakes, and mastery of habitat by other living species.
In a number of computer simulations, the team showed a piece of material that bounced in the direction of the Moon due to asteroid impact on Earth would have landed on the lunar surface with a speed of 2.5 kilometers per second or less. With temperatures on the Moon, no part of the material that is close to the peak pressure that resulted in the melted material.
Unfortunately, this new theory has not been proven scientifically to return humans to go to the moon, collect rock samples from several locations, and brought back to Earth for analysis in depth. However, such research would give us tremendous knowledge of the history of life on planet Earth.
