Abstract

Despite a lack of evidence, pointing the ability of appearance of living from nonliving (inert), the problem is set according to this event sequence. The defining influence of the ambient environment on living processes has not been proven because the composition of all external surfaces is defined by the living activity. Based on the observed facts, this chapter presents a thesis about the primacy of biogenic to abiotic processes.
