12 The Beginning of Life Central Dogma: beliefs held by the majority of the population Slow shift in dogma refuting spontaneous generation

13 The Beginning of Life Modern scientific theory on origins of life relatively recent (1900s) Atmosphere less Oxygen-rich: primarily water vapor, methane, ammonia and hydrogen (Miller/Urey) Pre-biotic evolution of organic molecules

14 (Also neucleotides, APT, And other short proteins)

15 The Beginning of Life Modern scientific theory on origins of life relatively recent (1900s) Actual composition might have been slightly different, but experiments still yield organic compounds Addition of heat and UV light energy Meteorites carry amino acids

16 The Beginning of Life Organic molecules would have taken hundreds of millions (X00,000,000) of years to accumulate UV radiation no ozone layer, also destructive power Today, relatively short shelf life (consumed or reactive with O2)

17 The Beginning of Life Organic molecules would have taken hundreds of millions (X00,000,000) of years to accumulate UV radiation no ozone layer Today, relatively short shelf life (consumed or reactive with O2) Role of clay: high affinity for particle adherence
