ee a breakthrough it that either.
There have been various "simulate early

in the lab to see what happens" and while at least some got all the way
to some interesting organic molecules, none of them reached even the most
primitive life forms - maybe they just need to refine their experiments
and run them for a billion years? ;-)
It still could be solved as puzzle.
You need enzymes to make enzymes or you just end up with primeval soup.
It just has to work say 10% in the positive direction of the time for something useful
start with. Use that as weird molecule zip and unzip RNA segments.
One factor, gravity may have been .5 G back then
Uh, what? How would the earth surface gravity be that much different? "Citation
needed" as Wikipedia would say.
