One theory of this process proposes that the water gas shift reaction with pyrite catalysis near hydrothermal vents was primarily responsible for it.
One theory of this process proposes that the water gas shift reaction with pyrite catalysis near hydrothermal vents was primarily responsible for it. Any theory of this process must explain the homochirality of amino acids and the origin of compartmentalization. It may have occurred via panspermia or via the spontaneous formation of liposome-enclosed protobionts. One experiment which simulated this process electrified a mixture of primordial gases to yield biological macromolecules, and was conducted by Urey and Miller. For 10 points, name this process which preceded evolution, the appearance of beings capable of metabolism and replication.
