The word "Panspermia" comes from the Greek language and means "seeds everywhere". The seeds in this case would not only be the building blocks of life, such as amino acids and monosaccharides, but also small extremophile organisms. The theory states that these "seeds" were dispersed "everywhere" from outer space and most likely came from meteor impacts. It has been proven through meteor remnants and craters on Earth that early Earth endured innumerable meteor strikes due to a lack of an atmosphere that could burn the up upon entry.
