Summary Introduction
To list: The sequence of four stages that could have led to the origin of the first living things.
Introduction: All forms of life are present within the Earth. The Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. Until 4 billion years ago, the Earth was bombarded by ice and huge rocks. The planet undergoes change depending on the life that inhabits. A four-stage hypothesis was proposed about the origin of life on the Earth.
