Modern advances in biology, geology, chemistry, and astronomy have allowed us to elaborate models and hypotheses on the origin of life on Earth within the framework of the evolutionary theory. About four billion years ago, a rich inventory of organic compounds accumulated on the planet, as a ...
Gould, “Evolution as Fact and Theory” Discover, May 1981 The second point is that Darwin's theory of evolution is silent on the 'origin of living things' – that is, how life on earth began. Darwin himself mused that life could have arisen 'in some warm little pond.' For much ...
I use the last dichotomy here, only because it has a long history and renewed focus in recent years. Currently there is no consensus on any one theory for the origin of life, but this is an active field that has made great strides in recent decades....
M Barbieri - 《Journal of Theoretical Biology》 被引量: 62发表: 1981年 On the Theory of Evolution Versus the Concept of Evolution: Three Observations The five authors titled their note “The Theory of Evolution is Not an Explanation for the Origin of Life.” First, we argue that it is fa...
The greatest contribution to the development of the theory of the origin of life was made by Oparin and the American scientist H. Urey, who theorized that the initial atmosphere of the earth had reductional properties and that at a certain stage of its development it must have contained, alon...
This theory is called panspermia. This leads to another assumption that life arose from lifeless matter in the earth. According to Harold Urey, who had been studying the atmosphere of Jupiter, the atmosphere of the early Earth, like that of Jupiter's, may have been reducing, and thus may ...
In this paper I consider the work which has been done on The Origin of Life in the last 100 years. It is my argument that a great deal of the underpinning of discussions on this topic have been more philosophical than anything based in brute experience or theory. 关键词: brain science ...

Life appears to be a natural property of matter, but the problem of its origin only arose after early scientists refuted continuous spontaneous generation... D Penny - 《Biology & Philosophy》 被引量: 99发表: 2005年 A new theory on the common evolutionary origin of natural immunity, inflammat...
