This volume is a record of the 6th International Conference on the
Origins of Life and the 3rd Meeting of the International Society
for the Study of the Origins of Life. The conference was held under
the auspices of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities at
Jerusalem from June 22nd to June 27th 1980. A few weeks prior to
the conference, Academician Aleksander Ivanovich Oparin passed
away. Oparin, the father and founder of the study of the origins of
life, proposed over 50 years ago that modern biological molecules
had abidogical origins in the past, thus the beginning of life on
Earth was preceded by a long period of abiogenic molecular
evolution. Oparin was planning to report on his latest work in the
opening session of the meeting - "Natural Selection: A Leading
Factor in Transition from the Non-Living Matter to Life." This
lecture will never be delivered. In Hebrew we say of those who have
died "may their memory be bound with the bonds of eternal life."
For Aleksander Ivanovich Oparin those words have particular
significance, for surely his pioneering work will endure as long as
the spirit of scientific enquiry prevails. This meeting was
dedicated to the memory of Aleksander Ivanovich Oparin.
