Eli5: (This prob sounds stupid) How did life forms come to be on earth? Like, how did something become ‘living’?
In: Biology
Remember in primary school when the teacher said that proteins are the building blocks of life? When certain proteins combine with other organic matter they can form cells. Life does not equal thought or consciousness. Life is simply organic cells that can split and make more of themselves. Super complex life took billions of years of stressors that only the adaptable could survive. But, for the original life on Earth, it was the high likelihood of these organic molecules combining and forming cells. The high likelihood was also dependent upon the amount of carbon dioxide and sunlight present.
