< “The best hypothesis now is that there was very little hydrogen in the atmosphere because it would have escaped into space.

Instead, the atmosphere probably consisted of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and
water vapor,” Wells said. “So my gripe is that textbooks still present

when most geochemists since the 1960s would say it was totally
unlike Miller’s.”
