This supports the idea that life originated as a “primordial soup” in the oceans.ĩ Early Environment Miller and Urey designed an experiment to test Oparin’s “primordial soup” hypothesis They were able to successfully mimic the proposed conditions of early earth in the laboratory.

His theory hypothesized that due to the chemicals in the atmosphere, the lack of free oxygen, and intense energy from lightning and volcanoes, simple organic molecules could form from inorganic compounds.Ĩ Early Environment At this time in the earth’s history, the earth was covered by water Therefore, this essential first step in the development of life must have occurred in the oceans. This idea is sometimes called spontaneous generation.Ĥ Early Environment The environment of the early Earth may have provided a unique set of conditions that allowed abiogenesis to occur.ĥ Early Environment Researchers now believe that the early atmosphere may have been similar to the vapors given off by modern volcanoes: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and nitrogen (note the absence of free atmospheric oxygen).ħ Early Environment Oparin developed a theory to explain the development of life on earth.
