Answer:

Earth's primordial soup

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexander Oparin was a Soviet biochemist who proposed theories for the origin of life through a book he called "The Origin of Life". He claimed that life on earth came about as a result of a gradual chemical evolution which is a mixture of carbon-based molecules that he called Earth's primordial soup (or sometimes called "organic soup").
