Primordial organic chemistry and the origin of life.

Aspects of Darwinian revolution are discussed together with spontaneous generation, the inorganic chemical evolution, the primitive atmosphere, and interstellar matter. The significance of the change of the earth's reducing atmosphere to an atmosphere with oxidizing characteristics is considered. Experiments regarding the abiogenic synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins are reported. It was found that micromolecules can be formed in simulation experiments. The condensation reaction taking place in the presence of water was studied together with the condensation reaction taking place in the relative absence of water or under hypohydrous conditions. Jupiter simulation studies were conducted, and lunar and meteorite material was analyzed.
