A new study claimed that the theory proposed by Charles Darwin on life's origin was right. Darwin proposed that the life originated on land in a pond and not in the oceans. The study by researchers at the Osnabruck university in Germany found that the first primitive cells might have originated in pools of condensed vapour. This was caused by underground hot water.
The study challenged the prevalent view that life originated in the sea. The study was based on the analysis of key rock chemicals in ancient inland and marine habitats. It was compared with the genetic reconstruction of Earth’s first cells. The scientists discovered that the oceans did not contain the best balance of ingredients to support life.
