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.

Lichens are very sensitive to pollution. In England, after the onset of the industrial revolution, the lichens were adversely affected and the frequency of the dark-colored peppered moths increased because they were:
1. protected from carcinogens
2. protected from lichen poisons
3. more robust
4. protected from predation
