These systems could have lasted for thousands of years, potentially providing the conditions necessary for the first living cells to form. Some research suggests these impacts also influenced the rise of oxygen-producing life.What's confirmed:Asteroid impacts may have created hot, chemical-rich environments ideal for early biology.Impact-generated hydrothermal systems could have lasted thousands of years.Ancient asteroid impacts may have fractured the crust to crea
