  • Hugely expanded. Well cited. Easily long enough. This is a great article. The hook is quite long though, and the Miller-Urey experiment is quite controversial for how well it replicated the Earth's early atmosphere. Would this be better: ALT1: ... that Harold Urey showed that Earth's early atmosphere might spontaneously produce amino acids, commonly considered the building blocks of life?

Yes, that would be fine. Hawkeye7 (talk) 12:29, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
