Here we overview the chemical evolution of RNA molecules from inorganic material through mineral-mediated RNA formation compatible with the plausible early Earth environments. Pathways from the gas-phase reaction to the formation of nucleotides, activation and oligomerization of nucleotides, seem to be compatible with specific environments. However, how these steps interacted is not clear since the chemical conditions are frequently different and can be incompatible between them; thus the products would have migrated from one place to another, suitable for further chemical evolution. In this review, we summarize certain points to scrutinize the RNA World hypothesis.

走过 4 Gya：从光化学到矿物和有机化学通向 RNA 世界的化学进化。


在这里，我们概述了 RNA 分子从无机材料到矿物介导的 RNA 形成与可能的早期地球环境相容的化学演化。从气相反应到核苷酸形成、核苷酸活化和寡聚化的途径似乎与特定环境兼容。然而，这些步骤如何相互作用尚不清楚，因为化学条件经常不同并且它们之间可能不相容。因此，产物会从一个地方迁移到另一个地方，适合进一步的化学演化。在这篇综述中，我们总结了一些要点来审视 RNA 世界假说。
