WASHINGTON — A noted
iochemist Monday reported the
trongest evidence yet that seeds of
fe exist throughout the solar sys-
em and life on earth apparently
ates back 3.8 billion years.
Two reports by Dr. Cyril Pon-
lamperuma strengthen the idea
lemical evolution led to the de-
'elopment of life on earth, and nar-
w the gap from 1.2 billion to 800
lilliou years for the time it took for
iving things to develop from earth’s
irimordial seas.
Ponnamperuma, director of the
Q Of Sid ^Terr/ty of Maryland’s Laboratory
“fChemical Evolution, said he and
-workers have found extra-
errestrial amino acids in two
neteorites preserved in pristine
Dndition by the deep freeze condi-
ions of Antarctica.
Amino acids are chemical com-
jounds that are basic ingredients of
iroteins, which are essential parts of
iving things. Ponnamperuma told
Ik American Chemical Society six
)fll amino acids in one meteorite
and six of 15 in the other clearly
ivere formed by non-biological pro-
the organic analysis of the insides
and outsides of the meteorites were
identical.
The meteorites, both believed to
come from the asteroid belt be
tween Mars and Jupiter, are 4.6 bil
lion years old, dating them back to
the beginning of the solar system
when the Earth and other planets
formed out of gas and dust.
Although the meteorite results do
not mean life exists elsewhere, it in
creases the chances that extra
terrestrial life could have evolved
under the right conditions.
The evidence of the oldest known
life on Earth comes from brown-
black rocks found near the edge of
the ice cap in southwest Greenland.
The rocks are dated at 3.83 billion
years — making them the oldest
known sediments on Earth.
“So what this tells us then is that
life is as old as the oldest sediments
on the Earth,” he said.
The first identification of ammino
acids of non-earthly origins was
made by Pommamperuma in 1970
from a carbonaceous meterorite that
near Murchison, Victoria, Aus-
