We examine the geological evidence found within these minerals, which suggests the planet cooled much faster than previously understood. This timeline shifts our perception of how quickly a habitable environment could have emerged during the earliest stages of Earth formation. By analysing this data, we can better understand the potential for planetary cooling and what that means for the origins of early life evidence. This analysis focuses on the geological record to determine if the standard models of our planet's history require a total revision.
