This concept is central to understanding the origins of life on Earth. Scientists propose that under the conditions of early Earth, a complex interplay of chemical reactions could have led to the formation of self-replicating molecules and eventually enclosed them within a membrane, creating a primitive cell.
The exact nature of alkueliön is a subject of ongoing scientific research and speculation. Theories suggest
