    In his words, geobiology "is an attempt to describe the relationship between organisms and the Earth," for "the organism is part of the Earth and its lot is interwoven with that of the Earth." Baas Becking's definition of geobiology was born of a desire to unify environmental biology with laboratory biology.

  3. Geobiology (pseudoscience) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geobiology_(pseudoscience)

    Geobiology is a field which studies the effects of the Earth's radiation, such as telluric currents and other electromagnetic fields, on biological life. [1] The term is derived from Ancient Greek gē ( ge ) meaning ‘earth’ and βίος; ( bios ) meaning ‘life’.

  4. Paleobiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleobiology

    Paleobiology is not to be confused with geobiology, which focuses more on the interactions between the biosphere and the physical Earth. Paleobiological research uses biological field research of current biota and of fossils millions of years old to answer questions about the molecular evolution and the evolutionary history of life.
