Summary Introduction

To explain: The four requirements for chemical evolution, and why is each essential.

Concept introduction: Earth was formed before 4.6 billion years from the sun due to the continuous bombardment of huge rocks and ices. This massive bombardment resulted in the generation of heat. The bombardment by the solar nebula on the Earth initiated the origin of life. The evolution of life on Earth began with chemical evolution from the organic compounds or non-living matter. Fossils of some microorganisms are the direct evidence of life on early Earth.
