The Origin of Life: Hypotheses and Evolution
Early Earth and the First Life
The Earth is estimated to have formed around 4.5 billion years ago. Initially, it was a molten mass that gradually cooled, leading to the formation of a solid crust and the first atmosphere. This early atmosphere was a reducing one, lacking free oxygen. It is believed that its composition consisted mainly of methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), water vapor (H2O), and hydrogen (H2).

Heraclitus and Parmenides
