Overview: Lost Worlds
• Past organisms were very different from those now alive• The fossil record shows
macroevolutionary changes over large time scales including• The emergence of terrestrial vertebrates • The origin of photosynthesis• Long-term impacts of mass extinctions

Stages for Early Life on Earth
1. Abiotic synthesis of small organic molecules
2. Joining of these small molecules into macromolecules
3. Packaging of molecules into “protobionts”
4. Origin of self-replicating molecules6

Synthesis of Organic Compounds on Early Earth
• Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago, along with the rest of the solar system• Earth’s early atmosphere likely
contained water vapor and chemicals released by volcanic eruptions (nitrogen, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide)

Early Research
• A. I. Oparin and J. B. S. Haldane hypothesized that the early atmosphere was a reducing environment (adding electrons)• Stanley Miller and Harold Urey conducted
lab experiments that showed that the abiotic synthesis of organic molecules in a reducing atmosphere is possible

Other Hypotheses
• The evidence is not yet convincing that the early atmosphere was in fact reducing• Instead of forming in the atmosphere, the
first organic compounds may have been synthesized near submerged volcanoes and deep-sea vents• Amino acids have also been found in
meteorites9

Abiotic Synthesis of Macromolecules
•Small organic molecules polymerize when they are concentrated on hot sand, clay, or rock

Protobionts
• Replication and metabolism are key properties of life• Protobionts are aggregates of abiotically
produced molecules surrounded by a membrane or membrane-like structure• Protobionts exhibit simple reproduction
and metabolism and maintain an internal chemical environment

Protobionts (cont)
• Experiments demonstrate that protobionts could have formed spontaneously from abiotically produced organic compounds• For example, small membrane-bounded
droplets called liposomes can form when lipids or other organic molecules are added to water

Self-Replicating RNA and the Dawn of Natural Selection
• The first genetic material was probably RNA, not DNA• RNA molecules called ribozymes have
been found to catalyze many different reactions• For example, ribozymes can make
complementary copies of short stretches of their own sequence or other short pieces of RNA 14

Self-Replicating RNA and the Dawn of Natural Selection (cont)
• Early protobionts with self-replicating, catalytic RNA would have been more effective at using resources and would have increased in number through natural selection• The early genetic material might have
formed an “RNA world”

Chapter 25.2The fossil record documents the history of life

• The fossil record reveals changes in the history of life on earth• Sedimentary rocks are deposited into
layers called strata and are the richest source of fossils

Fossil Facts
• Few individuals have fossilized, and even fewer have been discovered• The fossil record is biased in favor of
species that• Existed for a long time•Were abundant and widespread•Had hard parts

How Rocks and Fossils Are Dated
•Relative dating – estimation based on strata•Radiometric dating – absolute ages
determined by the known half-life of isotope decay

Radioactive Dating
•Radiocarbon dating can be used to date fossils up to 75,000 years old• For older fossils, some isotopes can
be used to date sedimentary rock layers above and below the fossil

Magnetism of Rocks
•Reversals of the magnetic poles leave their record on rocks throughout the world

•Major boundaries between geological divisions correspond to extinction events in the fossil record
