The auth or suggests that prebiological informational structures,gene predecessors and protoorganisms should be looked for among abiogenic ordered hydrocarbon molecul ar systems(hard bitumens). 文章提出，应在非生物成因有序碳氢分子体系(硬沥青)中寻找前生物信息结构、基因之祖和原生有机体。
Rather we must work from the assumption that it was a gradual sequence of more modest events, each of which added a degree of order and complexity to the world of prebiological molecules. 我们必须假定它是一连串事件的结果，每个事件都不怎麽起眼，但都使早期分子的规则性与复杂度逐步提升。
If this process manufactures large organic molecules from simple inorganic chemicals throughout the earth's hydrothermal zones today, then it very likely did so in the planet's prebiological past. 要是在今天各地的深海热泉中，简单的无机分子也可以透过这个反应来形成大型有机分子，那麽在地球出现生物之前，这种反应也一样可以发生。
prebiological organic chemicals. 生命起源前的有机化学物质
Chemical evolution in prebiological period 前生期化学演化
