Evolution, as the term is used here, signifies any development or change adapting to the environment. Chemical evolution connotes changes of chemical substances, it thus signifies that changes occur fundamentally in the molecules. Frequently “chemical evolution” is used synonymously for “abiotic” or “prebiotic formation” of organic molecules in a cosmic system, usually on the prebiotic (or primitive) Earth. It is then assumed that the organic molecules were formed from the constituents of the primitive atmosphere, hydrosphere, and — in part — lithospere.
