The Miller and Urey experiment tested how life might have started on early Earth. They used flasks and tubes to make a “mini Earth” without oxygen, filled with water vapor and gases. Then they added sparks of electricity, like lightning. After some time, they found small amounts of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
Which major conclusion about Earth’s early life origins came from this experiment?
