Life's Possible Incubators: The Deep-Sea Hydrothermal Vent Hypothesis and the Freshwater Hot Spring Hypothesis
Updated: Apr 9
In recent years, research on the origin of life has increasingly converged with planetary science, prompting scientists to reassess whether different planetary bodies possess the necessary conditions for life to emerge. Life may not have arisen by chance in an obscure corner, but instead developed step by step under specific physicochemical conditions following fundamental processes. Therefore, understanding plausible scenarios for the origin of life is not only essential for reconstructing Earth's history, but also for improving the probability of detecting life on Mars, Europa, Enceladus, and even exoplanets.
