This made me laugh, yes I agree in a way. Maybe some day we will discover amino acid constituents on earth or another planet and it will fill in more of the blanks. It's the definition of chicken and egg though

Done. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Urey_experiment

You may not have heard about it, as the paper describing the experiment was only published 69 years ago.

Thanks for the link and for the reminder, did learn about this experiment actually in organic chemistry years ago. Suppose it's a bit nonsensical to look for amino acid "constituents" then. Not a fan of the snark though
