Scientists Hypothesize That Clay Minerals and Evaporating Water at the Edges

question 81

Essay

Scientists hypothesize that clay minerals and evaporating water at the edges of larger bodies of water were important in providing conditions that facilitated polymerization of building-block biomolecules into larger, more complex biomolecules.However, they think that these conditions were probably not sufficient to allow life to emerge.What additional development on early Earth likely occurred that allowed the necessary conditions for the eventual emergence of living cells? Why did this development move the origin of life forward when clay minerals and evaporating waters did not?
