    HISTORICAL
    DEVELOPMENT OF THE
    CONCEPT OF LIFE

    Centuries ago, people were puzzled about how life began in Earth.
    One belief that governed their way of thinking is that the theory of
    spontaneous generation or abiogenesis
    SPONTANEOUS
    GENERATION
    Is the idea that life could ABIOGENESIS
    appear from nonliving
    material. This thoughts or Is the belief that life
    ideas was proposed by originates from pre-existing
    Aristotle life
    The historical development
    of the ideas that life comes
    from pre-existing life is
    unquestionable. But
    lingering question still
    persist as to how did the
    first living organism
    developed on the planet.
    life was also thought to
    originate spontaneously
    from nonliving matter
    DIVINE CREATION
    CREATIONISM (belief that Creationist believe that
    life arose out of nothing but everything was made by God
    the power of a divine being ) in a six-day period of creation

    Life forms and everything in the


    universe were created through a
    supernatural power rather than
    naturalistic means
    SPONTANEOUS ORIGIN
    • Some scientist believed that the first came from a spontaneous origin of life
    evolved from inanimate matter

    • Before life could evolve , simple molecules combined to form complex


    ones.

    • The energy that drove this chemical process may come from lighting or
    same form of geothermal energy.
    SPONTANEOUS ORIGIN
    • Scientist also tried to explain where life molecules could have first
    assembled such as in underwater volcanic vents, surface , of clay
    sediments, deep in the Earth’s crust or under frozen oceans.

    • Another hypothesis deals with the primodial soup that complex biological
    compounds were randomly assembled by chance in an organic broth on
    Earth’s early surface
    Panspermia
    Svante Arrhenius, Swedish scientist popularized the
    concept or idea that life arose outside Earth and life
    that forms were transported from another planet to
    seed life on Earth

    (PANSPERMIA) Proposes that a meteor,


    which started the evolution of life
