James Locklove and the Gaia theory

James Locklove was born in 1919 in Hertfordshire, England to working middle class parents who believed strongly in education. After primary school James was unable to afford University so he studied at Birkbeck College until he acquired enough money for university. He believed that this prevented him from becoming over-specialized, helping him develop the Gaia theory. He later was accepted into the University of Manchester to study Chemistry, but he was only able to afford 2 of the 3 years he needed. But with a professors recommendation he earned himself a position on the Medical Research Council. He later earned his Phd in Medicine at the London school of Hygiene and Tropical medicine. He later invented the Gaia Theory. The Gaia theory is a hypothesis stating that the earth is more than just a floating rock in space. It states that the Earth is a living orgasm that regulates itself to be able to sustain life. This theory helps us understand just how important the earth is and just how urgent situations such as climate change, and pollution are.
