Miller and Urey’s experiment (1953) simulated the conditions of the early Earth’s atmosphere, hypothesized to be reducing (lacking free oxygen). They combined water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen in a closed system and subjected it to electrical sparks to simulate lightning. After a few days, they observed the formation of various organic compounds, including amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, which are essential for life.
