When I was formulating this theory, I thought I would need to convince the reader that meteorites delivered most of the amino acids needed to initiate Emergent Chemical Evolution (ECE). But thanks to Z. Martins and others I do not have to try so hard anymore; because back in 2007 they wrote an article on this very subject. In which they claim that the amino acids delivered by chondrites would have played a part in starting life on earth . This is one of the central claims of Emergent Chemical Evolution. The necessity of some scientists to prove how amino acids were produced on Earth from scratch seems to be totally unwarranted. Especially when, for over thirty years, it has been commonly known that chondrites contain, since before the formation of the solar system, over seventy different types of amino acids. And there is overwhelming evidence that there was a period of heavy bombardment just prior to the emergence of life. I propose that these meteorites were the primary source o
