Episode description
The origin of life on Earth is one of the most profound questions in science. Among the various hypotheses proposed, the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis stands out for its historical significance and its foundational role in the study of abiogenesis — the process by which life arises naturally from non-living matter. This hypothesis, often associated with the concept of the “Primordial Soup,” suggests that life began in a “soup” of organic molecules, possibly in the oceans, under conditions very different from those of today.
