Answer

Oparin and J.B.S. Haldane

Explanation

The chemosynthetic theory of the origin of life was proposed by scientists Aleksandr Oparin and J.B.S. Haldane. They independently suggested that life could have originated through chemical processes in a reducing atmosphere on early Earth. This theory proposed that simple organic compounds could form in the conditions of the early Earth and lead to the development of more complex organic molecules, eventually giving rise to living organisms.
