Abstract Recent satellite observations of young, sun-like stars allow an estimation of the ultraviolet and X-ray radiation environment of the primitive Earth. Energy from these sources is found to be much higher than previously believed. We suggest that the influence of high energy radiation on the early development of life be reexamined.
