Abstract
The origin of prokaryotic life is discussed with an emphasis on the se lf-assembly of early life in a microscale environment where ordered ce llular structures and integrated functions evolved from disorder. Earl y molecular evolution may have been due to both molecular chaos and ev olving molecular order.
