Abstract
The formation of biopolymers should have been an essential step for the emergence of lifelike systems on the primitive Earth. RNA and protein-like molecules are considered to have played important roles for the formation of systems to maintain primitive metabolism, replication, and mutation. However, the pathways how a system consisting of these simple biopolymers had evolved to a real lifelike system, which is determined as alive, are still speculative. In this chapter, a realistic system will be deduced on the basis of the analysis of chemical evolution of biopolymers on hydrothermal Earth conditions and the requisite for life.
