+# Abiogenesis
+
+- Life had to have some way to originate from non-living materials
+  1. The abiotic (nonliving) synthesis of small organic molecules, such as
+  amino acids and nitrogenous bases
+  2. The joining of these small molecules into macromolecules, such as proteins
+  and nucleic acids
+  3. The packaging of these molecules into protocells, droplets with membranes
+  that maintained an internal chemistry different from that of their
+  surroundings
+  4. The origin of self-replicating molecules ([[autocatalytic set]]) that
+  eventually made inheritance possible
+- [[RNA World]]: It's proposed that RNA was the first self-replicating molecule

+- [[Hadean]]: 4.571 BYA to 4.0 BYA
+  - Named due to hellish conditions
+- [[Archaean]]: 4.0 BYA to 2.5 BYA
+  - Reasonably condusive to life
+  - Pretty certain that cellular life originated here
+  - 3.48 BYA: First cellular life, [[Stromatolites]]
+  - 3 BYA: Oxygenic photosynthesis defines the end of the Archaean
+- [[Proterozoic]]: 2.5 BYA to 541 MYA
+  - 2.8 BYA to 1.9 BYA: Banded Iron Formations imply periods of high
+  oxygenation
+  - CH₄ (Methane) + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O: Methane concentration decreased, while
+  Oxygen and CO₂ increased
+  - [[Huronian Glaciation]]
+  - [[Ediacaran]]
+- [[Phanerozoic]]: 541 MYA to Present
+  - Started with a mass-extinction event
+  - Divided into [[Paleozoic]], [[Mesozoic]], and [[Cenozoic]]
