Researchers May Have Found the Missing Piece of Evidence that Explains the Origins of Life

The question of how life first emerged here on Earth is a mystery that continues to elude scientists. Despite everything that scientists have learned from the fossil record and geological history, it is still not known how organic life emerged from inorganic elements (a process known as abiogenesis) billions of years ago.

See this is the thing

Someone trying to get praise by stealing concepts that happen naturally and claiming that they did it.

This happens in science all the time

Annoying.

Although this is an interesting result, the headline is a bit over the top

> Addressing this, a team of researchers from the University College London (UCL) recently conducted a study that effectively demonstrated that peptides could have formed in conditions analogus to primordial Earth.

That could have been me. I proposed doing this experiment at a local university. But got turned down on the grounds that it wasn’t novel enough. :-(

Important to know how big the peptides are. And how varied.
