doesn't matter because coal was more expensive per BTU than wood. The Ancient world also could not have industrialized because the economy was based on slave labour. Slave labour made labour exceptionally cheap and so there would be no need to develop efficient capital in production. A good example of this is France vs England in the 19th century. France has a huge supply of labour, while England did not. Wages were low in France and so there was no incentive for industrial firms to develop more efficient capital. The English had little labour and much coal, since coal was cheap and labour relatively more expensive, factories sprang up. Also remember that all the early steam engines were extraordinarily inefficient, and only became more efficient because of cheap capital and resources...

Why the first one and not the one that all higher life evolved from? Certainly life must have been spontaneously created more than once. What is there to suggest that we're the descendents of the first living organism on earth, and not a later unrelated cell?
