Meteorites delivered the "seeds" of Earth's left hand life.

"This work is related to the probability that there is life somewhere else,” said Breslow. “Everything that is going on on Earth occurred because the meteorites happened to land here. But they are obviously landing in other places. If there is another planet that has the water and all of the things that are needed for life, you should be able to get the same process rolling.”

Yeah, I know... just throw this in the non supportive pile of what we already knew.
