Young Earth like Venus?

Young Earth like Venus?

The Earth formed through the accumulation of smaller rocky bodies, called planetesimals, which formed out of the nebula that gave birth to the whole Solar System. An iconoclastic picture in which the mantle of the young Earth developed a basaltic crust similar to that now found on Venus is proposed.
