If you measure the success of a lifeform by how long they manage to exist on Earth, then by far the most successful forms of life have been stromatolites. 


Stromatolites aren’t the sexiest form of life. They still exist on Earth today, but if you have seen them, you might never have known it. 


In addition to having been around a long time, stromatolites are responsible for the entire world that we know today. 


Learn more about stromatolites, the oldest form of life on Earth, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - Author Tara Westover says we need to consider how people have been ‘Educated’

Author Tara Westover grew up in an extreme survivalist family in Idaho. She and her siblings had no formal education, but she taught herself algebra, aced the entrance exam for BYU and got in. It was the start of her way out from under an often abusive family situation. Westover wrote about her experiences and what it was like for her to totally change her worldview in her memoir, Educated. Westover told Here & Now's Robin Young that she thinks we need to stop judging people for their incorrect opinions if they don't have access to education.
