Alexander oparin theory of origin of life

Aleksandr Oparin (1894–1980) was a Russian biologist and biochemist noted for his contributions to the theory of the origin of life on Earth and, in particular, to the so-called "primordial soup" theory of evolution from molecules carbon.

After the exhaustive development of his theories about the origin of the first living organisms, a number of later experiments were carried out that served to explain the evolutionary theories that remain to this day.

Oparin was the first to expose the existence of the first living beings - prior to cells - which he called "coacervates".

On the other hand, he also devoted great efforts to enzymology and helped develop foundations of industrial biochemistry in the Soviet Union.

Although at first his theories were not entirely accepted by the scientists
