Explanation

Oparin proposed the theory of chemical evolution of life (primordial soup theory) in 1924, suggesting that organic compounds could form from inorganic precursors through natural chemical reactions. This was a foundational hypothesis for understanding the origin of life on Earth. Darwin focused on natural selection, Lamarck on inheritance of acquired characteristics, and Haeckel on embryology and recapitulation theory.
