Is evolution predictable, or was it heavily shaped by random events? Biologists have argued over this question for decades. Some suggest that if we replayed the history of life on our planet, the resulting species would be different. Opponents counter that life is largely deterministic.Recently, researchers have begun to ask the same questions about rocks. Some 5, 000 minerals have been found on Earth. But minerals didn’t simply appear all at once when the Earth formed. They materialized over time, each crystal arising in response to the conditions of the particular epoch in which it formed. Minerals evolved — in some cases, in response to life. So are today’s minerals a predictable consequence of the planet’s chemical makeup, or the result of chance events? What if we were to spot another earth-like planet in the cosmos -- would we expect its gemstones to match ours, or would they shine in ways never seen before?Robert Hazen, a mineral physicist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and his colleagues are publishing a series of papers this year that reveal broad insights into whether geology is a matter of fate. Minerals on Earth may indeed have been guided by deterministic rules that could apply to other worlds as well, they found. But our planet is rife with extremely rare minerals, which suggests that chance occurrences also play a significant part. In addition, if we found an earth-like twin elsewhere in the universe, many common minerals would likely be the same ~ but that planet would probably also hold many minerals unlike any existing here.The findings aren’t just a matter of curiosity. Some minerals may have helped early organisms emerge. And understanding which minerals could have formed on earth-like planets may help scientists better predict which worlds are likeliest to harbor life. Conversely, some minerals arise only in the presence of organisms. So finding patterns in Earth’s mineral distribution could help scientists identify a mineralogical signature for life, and then search for it on other planetsTraditionally, mineralogy has been dominated by analysis of the structures and formation of individual minerals. But in a 2008 study Hazen and his colleagues took a more historical view. The researchers assessed earth’s known minerals and tried to establish when the conditions were right for their formation. The team concluded that about two-thirds of earth’s minerals would not have emerged until life was present. For example, early microorganisms seeded the atmosphere with oxygen, which interacted with existing minerals to yield new ones. Hazen points out that this so-called Great Oxygenation Event had a revolutionary impact, opening the door to thousands of new minerals.Hazen and collaborators then set out to investigate the role that chance played in mineral formation. First, they studied the relation between mineral diversity and the abundance of individual elements in earth’s crust. They found that the more abundant the element, the more minerals it formed. They then performed the same exercise with minerals from the moon. A similar relationship held, even though the number of known minerals there is much smaller. This common trend suggested an element of determinism: Given starting chemical conditions, one could predict, to a certain extent, which minerals would form.The team did find outliers, however, Hazen’s team believes there are chemical reasons for the discrepancies. Their results still support the idea of determinism, said co-author Edward Grew, a petrologist at the University of Maine, because “we can explain why they’re not obeying the rules.” Peter Heaney, a mineralogist at Pennsylvania State University, said that the reasons given for the outliers make sense. “What is important is that Hazen is making us think about mineral diversification in a new way,” said Heaney, who was not involved in the study.Haran’s team also found evidence for the role of chance. The researchers used a crowd-sourced database to retrieve more than 650,000 mineral ostentations at specific locations around th
