114 HISTORY OF THE OCEANS 



story of the origin of life of which the details need to be filled in 

 and which, I think, can be filled in by a close and active combi- 

 nation of different techniques. True there is not at present, and 

 probably there never will be, any single person who can himself 

 command all these techniques, but this does not make the task 

 an impossible one; rather it is a challenge to collective human 

 ingenuity. The kind of cooperation which we have had at this 

 Congress, makes it possible to envisage some kind of extended 

 cooperation, particularly between the workers in the sciences of 

 earth, sea, and air, with the biochemists and the biophysicists. In 

 the process of filling in the story that I have set down here they 

 may well destroy it but only to remake it in a much more satis- 

 factory form.
