∙ 11y agoYes, chemical evolution preceded animal evolution. Chemical evolution refers to the transition from non-living molecules to simple living organisms, whereas animal evolution specifically refers to the development and diversification of animals from simpler to more complex forms. Chemical evolution laid the groundwork for the emergence of early life forms, including the common ancestors of animals.

Chemical
Chemical evolution suggests that simple inorganic molecules eventually led to the formation of more complex organic molecules, such as amino acids and nucleotides. Over time, these molecules evolved into the building blocks of life, including proteins, DNA, and ultimately, living organisms.
pH is an abiotic factor, as it is a chemical characteristic of the environment that can influence the growth and survival of living organisms. The pH level of a habitat can affect the availability of nutrients, the activity of enzymes, and the overall health of organisms living in that environment.

Metabolic activity is the activity in which the chemical transformations occur within the cells of living organisms. Metabolic activity is used to maintain an organisms life.
Biological evolution involves changes in living organisms over generations, driven by natural selection and genetic variation. Chemical evolution refers to the process by which simple organic molecules formed and developed into more complex structures, eventually leading to the formation of life. Biological evolution occurs within living organisms, while chemical evolution refers to the broader origin of life itself.
Quartz is a mineral that is highly resistant to chemical weathering. Marble is a mineral that is more susceptible to chemical weathering.
DDT is a persistent chemical because it is resistant to degradation by natural processes like sunlight, heat, and microorganisms. This allows it to remain in the environment for a long time, accumulating in organisms and biomagnifying through food chains.
The word evolution is a noun derived from the verb 'to evolve', which means to change over time. In science, only one type of evolution is given the title evolution in a special sense, where in a scientific context it refers solely to the changing of living organisms, the evolution of living organisms through genetic changes in populations which lead to adaptations which lead to speciation, all over long periods of time. Chemical evolution may sometimes refer to the mishmash of carbon based chains and forming aminoacids in the Precambrian seas prior to true life-formation; abiogenesis. It is not a special term of 'evolution' as that only occurs in the biological sense. It is therefore an evolution from the sense of the verb 'evolve' which merely unspecifically denotes a change.
The theory that life started itself from the chemical properties of matter is called abiogenesis. Abiogenesis proposes that living organisms can arise from non-living matter through natural processes such as chemical reactions.
Chemical evolution refers to the formation of simple molecules that eventually led to the formation of complex organic molecules like amino acids and nucleotides. These molecules then combined to form protocells, leading to the emergence of life on Earth. Biological evolution, driven by natural selection, describes how organisms evolve and adapt to their environment over time, resulting in the diversity of life we see today.
Chemical evolution refers to the gradual development of complex chemical compounds necessary for life, such as amino acids and nucleotides. Biological evolution, on the other hand, refers to the change in inherited traits of populations over generations. Both processes are interconnected as chemical evolution laid the foundation for biological evolution by providing the necessary building blocks for life to emerge.

Scientists believe that chemical evolution occurred around 3.5 billion years ago.
