Abstract

This work comments, in a detailed and physically conceptual way, The role of Carbon as the fundamental ingredient in the origin of life. Emphasis is given to two quantum effects that made it possible for carbon to have this unique primacy - one at the atomic level and the other at the nuclear level. The seemingly improbable 8Be+4He→12C nuclear reaction is commented on and discussed in detail.
