Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The word “abio” means non living and “genesis” means origination. Thus, abiogenesis or theory of spontaneous generation means the origination of living organisms from non living matter. This theory was first given by Aristotle’s who explains the maggots origination on spoiling meat. So, he concluded that simpler invertebrates are spontaneously arises by non living matter.
