Abstract
A theory of the origin of life is still far from being complete at this time. The most promising part of this theory is the understanding of synthesis of the precursors of complex organic compounds on the early Earth. In fact, almost all these processes are connected with the origin and chemical evolution of the Earth’s atmosphere. Therefore, the understanding of the origin and evolution of the early Earth’s atmosphere is very important not only for planetary sciences but also for the origin of life.
