Chemogeny or chemical evolution suggests that most of the primitive forms of life would have been generated spontaneously from some inorganic matter as a result of the action of special external forces e.g. electric charge, UV-light, etc. 1. Saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons were feasted when temp cooled to 900 Celsius or even below this. 2. From hydrocarbons, small chain compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are formed which condense to form sugar. 3. Ketones and aldehydes condense, polymerizes to form fatty acids. 4. Ammonia, hydrocarbon, and water reacted to form amino acids. 5. Hot sea water rich in primary organic compounds reacted to form nucleotides.
