The Origin of Life on Earth
* Researchers have found a way that the genetic molecule RNA could have formed from chemicals present on the early earth.
* Other studies have supported the hypothesis that primitive cells containing molecules similar to RNA could assemble spontaneously, reproduce and evolve, giving rise to all life. * Scientists are now aiming at creating fully self-replicating artificial organisms in the laboratory—essentially giving life a second start to understand how it could have started the first time.
