Nobody knows exactly how life began, nor have they been able to reproduce it’s creation in a laboratory. However the preconditions for life: amino acids, lipids (fats) and other small molecules forming the fundamental blocks for life; some form of selection pressure to favours certain molecules over others; and the gradual increase in complexity of the soup of organic material into proteins and DNA, the fundamental replicating unit in life, what eminent biologist Richard Dawkins calls the ‘selfish gene’, are regarded as the fundamental conditions that must have been around to begin life.
