Unraveling The Origins Of Life: Scientists Explore The Formation Of Protobionts
Scientists hypothesize that protobionts, precursors to life, emerged from reactions in specific environments. The Miller-Urey experiment and the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis suggest organic molecules formed under primitive Earth conditions. Hydrothermal vents may have provided energy and building blocks for polymerization, leading to the formation of coacervates and microspheres. Natural selection could have favored those structures capable…
