ABSTRACT
Some standard arguments are reviewed supporting deep ocean trenches as a likely location for the origin of terrestrial life. An analysis of proteomes of contemporary prokaryotes carried out by this group is cited as supporting evidence, indicating that the original proteins were formed by quenching from temperatures close to the boiling point of water. Coarse-grained simulations of the network formation process which agree quite well with experiments of such quenches both in drying and rapid fluid emission from a hot to a cold fluid are also described and cited as support for such a scenario. We suggest further experiments, observations and theoretical and simulation work to explore this hypothesis.
