4. Read the text.
Aristóteles believed that some forms of life, perhaps all, arose spontaneously. This idea, which was not exclusively his own,
was based on direct observation: plants suddenly appear in a fertile soil after the rain and the larvae materialize in the decaying
flesh. At the beginning of the 20th century, Aleksandr Oparin, a Russian biochemist, proposed and developed the idea that life
originated in the hot, humid environment of the old land surface, under an essentially methane-like atmosphere. The ancient
seas, according to Oparin, were rich in simple organic molecules that reacted by forming ever more complex molecules,
eventually giving rise to proteins which in turn have been organized precursors of the cells. The first cells would have been
similar to the current bacteria.
