New research rejects 80-year theory of 'primordial soup' as the origin of life

New research rejects 80-year theory of 'primordial soup' as the origin of life: "(Wiley-Blackwell) For 80 years it has been accepted that early life began in a 'primordial soup' of organic molecules before evolving out of the oceans millions of years later. Today the 'soup' theory has been over turned in a pioneering paper in BioEssays which claims it was the Earth's chemical energy, from hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, which kick-started early life."
