How Did Life Begin?

All the chemical elements that make up living things are also present in all non-living matters. These most common elements are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. Scientists, therefore, believe that life originated from non-living matter through a series of natural processes under some specific chemical and physical conditions that existed early in the history of the earth. These chemical and physical conditions include sunlight, atmospheric gases, the presence of water, and the occurrence of lightning and volcanos.

These processes at first created simple single-celled organisms, which then went on to create more complex organisms and then further on to create all species that we know and see on earth today. We have all come into existence starting with a simple single-celled organism!

Together, they provide Geologic Time : the timeline of history of life on earth in terms of Eons, Eras, Periods, Epochs, and Ages.
