The ocean is not the place where cell life begins

On February 15, the Journal of the American Academy of Sciences said that research by scientists at Osnabruck University in Germany confirms that on-land lakes are the origin of the cell-like life. Earth.

This new scientific perspective challenges long-standing awareness in the global scientific community that the ocean is the origin of this early life.

New scientific research confirms that lakes in the mouths of land volcanoes are much richer than those deep in the oceans of minerals such as zinc, manganese, phosphorus and other chemicals that are needed. for the life of the first cells that appear on Earth.

Previous studies have suggested that cracks in the sea floor are the most suitable cradle for cell life.

But German scientists put forward their latest research, claiming that volcanic lakes on the mainland are a much more suitable place for cell growth because they receive a large source of energy. from sunlight

The lakes on the ground clearly create the best habitat for the emergence of pre-cells on the early Earth.

The crater lakes that are connected to the Earth's heart act as the incubator and collect cells. The chemical composition of gases emitted from the ground is almost entirely equivalent to the chemical composition of the cells.
