What is currently thought to be the most likely location for the origin of life on Earth? Porous rock around alkali hydrothermal vents, maybe in volcanic ponds. "Primordial soup" in Hadean oceans. Meteorites and/or comets from outer space. Precursor molecules concentrated in clays, which also provided catalytic surfaces. "Primordial soup" in warm, evaporating puddles or tide pools.
