Diverse living organisms colonized the land, water, and atmosphere, as well as upper layers of the lithosphere, thereby forming the biosphere. Formerly, it was thought that abiogenic synthesis of prebiotic matter occurred in the Earth’s atmosphere on land surface. However, the presence of life signs in rocks more than 3. 5 Gyr ... Read more
