ScienceEarth may have been ready for life’s chemistry around 4.33 billion years ago
Live Science reports on research into the onset of the hypothetical “RNA World,” an early period when RNA was the primary replicating substance.
TLDR
A study in Nature Communications identifies a possible “sweet spot” for life’s origin around 4.33 billion years ago. Its three-dimensional thermal model points to a time when decreased bombardment enabled mild hydrothermal environments. Live Science describes the research as narrowing down the onset of the hypothetical “RNA World,” when RNA was the primary replicating substance.
