	<span style="line-height:1.5;">In contemporary, established biology life
is almost exclusively treated as a molecular phenomenon. Therefore, the mystery of the origin
of life is sought in molecular terms and processes. But according to certain advanced
researches and considerations, life
has also other essential ˇ°ingredientsˇ±: active and diffused organized
information and a specific physical as well as physicochemical state of matter
characterized </span><span style="line-height:1.5;">by long range order and coherent domains. These characteristics
should also form the basis of the prebiotic evolution, the phase of more or
less organized nano-and micro-vesicular systems that lead from abiotic to
living systems. In this view, the
complex molecular, physical and physicochemical order replaces the DNA molecule in its
capability to maintain the stability of information complexity from generation
to generation. Such systems were already found on the present day Earth and even within organisms and were also synthetically
reproduced. They are called nanobacteria and in general nanovesicles or
nanoparticles. They may represent an actual passage from non living forms to
primitive organisms.</span>
