The emergence of the most primitive organic compounds the hydrocarbons and cyanides and their nearest oxygen nitrogen sulphur and phosphorus derivatives with comparatively low molecular weights. Further elaboration of these compounds associated with a progressive increaase in the size of their molecules owing to the polymerisation and condensation of organic substances in the waters of the primaeval seas and oceans the primaeval nutrient broth.
