Prebiotic Chemistry and Life's Origin
Fiore, Michele
How life originated from an inanimate mixture of organic and inorganic compounds on the primordial Earth remains one of the great unknowns in science. This origin of life, or abiogenesis, continues to be examined theoretically and experimentally in the context of 'prebiotic' conditions. Speculations have been made of the favourable conditions for the formation of prebiotic molecules following the formation of the young universe. How did those ...
