Early transition creatures from the dawn of life, referred to as protobionts were not living cells as we know them. They probably had few of the characteristics of living cells today. The mechanism for the emergence of the first protobionts called chemical evolution, was originally explored by Aleksandr Ivanich Oparin.
Oparin suggested that collections of molecules were continually coming together in a probiotic soup, and that tthe ones that persisted the longest would come to predominate. Somehow the chemical evolution led to the first self-replicating entities, or protobionts, and once this had happened, biological evolution took over.
But what cannot be explained up to now by scientists, even with countless experiments conducted in the laboratory, is how these collection of chemical molecules evolved into living cells - much more into living organisms. This will certainly remain as the greatest mystery of life. What makes a living cell?
How are these protobionts characterized?
1. They were able to approximate replicas of themselvess.
They were able to ssurvive inder savage environmentalcomnditions.
3,They were somehow able to draw energy from that uncompromising environment
4. Death must have put in an early appearance - death is insseperably associated with life.
Death, like reproduction, i an essential part of Darwinian evolution.
It took a long, long way for life to reach the stage when life is ultimately associated with thing things, diversified as they are, we seem the least care to bother were life came from and how it began. Indeed life today is so tenacious and omnipresent on the Earth that it is difficult to imagine the planet without it .
