New research suggests that comets may not have been the primary source of life's building blocks on Earth, challenging a long-held scientific theory. Scientists ran extensive simulations indicating that key prebiotic molecules from comets would likely have been destroyed upon impact with ancient Earth. Instead, the study proposes that life on Earth may have originated from molecules originating from the planet's interior. The research also suggests that Mars might have been a more favorable environment for cometary delivery of these molecules, strengthening the possibility of life emerging there. AI
