Hypotheses for Life Origin on Earth, Comparison and Validation
Abstract
Life origin on Earth is an interesting topic all over world. RNA world, extraterritorial living-form landing, volcanic eruptions, cooperative biological origin hypothesis are major hypotheses so far. A great number of physics, chemical, biological and ecological factors are shared in this Editorial. Advantages and limitations of different aspects of life-origin hypotheses are overall highlighted.
