Alexander Graham Cairns-Smith was a chemist and molecular biologist at the University of Glasgow, known for his 1985 book 'Biological Messages: A Detective Story of Evolution'. In this work, he proposed the theory that self-replicating soluble clay minerals represent the key step between inanimate matter and life, rejecting other theories such as chemical evolution and the Miller-Urey experiment. He also authored 'Evolving the Mind' in 1996, where he attributed a significant role to quantum mechanics in human thought.
