This brilliant young woman explains her branch of science in this video about astrobiology.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Are we alone in the universe?
That's a dumb question. In a universe with more solar systems than grains of sand on earth there has to be life on perhaps millions of other planets, and most likely evolution on other worlds produced some creatures as weird as those on Earth.
