Prebiotic Chemistry
Prebiotic chemistry is defined as the study of the chemical steps, which lead to the first organisms, a clear-cut definition of "living organism" is needed. Unfortunately, no unambiguous and universally accepted definition exists for the concept "living". Prebiotic chemistry can also be defined as the chemistry that occurred before life existed.
