Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The discovery of high concentrations of organic biomarkers in a 3.9 billion year old meteorite would provide evidence for the possibility of extraterrestrial origin of life on Earth, as these biomarkers could have been brought to Earth through meteorite impacts. However, it would not disprove the terrestrial origin of life, nor would it necessarily prove the extraterrestrial origin of life. Additionally, the discovery would not necessarily provide evidence for the uniqueness of life on Earth.
