Origins of Life and Evolution of the Biosphere Journal
New theories concerning the origins of life, such as cometary sources of organics, the possible role of marine hydrothermal systems on the chemistry of the primitive earth, and the postulate of the RNA world, have brought many new scientists to the field of origins of life. The role of "Origins of Life and Evolution of the Biosphere" is to bring these articles together in one journal. While any scientific study related to the origin of life has its place in the journal, the main interests revolve around theoretical and experimental studies dealing with planetary atmospheres, interstellar chemistry, precambrian studies, prebiotic chemistry, and early evolution.
