Abstract

Since Friedrich Wöhler first synthesized urea in a laboratory setting in 1828, the formation and evolution of organic matter under abiotic conditions have been recognized as a central scientific field in the domain of origin-of-life studies.The historical timeline includes the Strecker synthesis in 1850, which demonstrated a reaction pathway from simple inorganic molecules to amino acids, and the Miller-Urey discharge experiment in 1953, which generated amino acids and amines in a simulated early Earth atmosphere.Subsequent studies, including those titled "prebiotic synthesis of amino acids/sugars/lipids/
