In 1953, S. L. Miller created primitive earth conditions in the laboratory and gave experimental evidence for the origin of the first form of life from pre-existing non-living organic molecules. The primitive earth conditions created include:

1. low temperature, volcanic storms, an atmosphere rich in oxygen
2. low temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere
3. high temperature, volcanic storms, non-reducing atmosphere
4. high temperature, volcanic storms, reducing atmosphere containing CH4, NH3 etc.
