were do we came from biogenesis or abiogenesis?
Well, depends on how far back you're looking, and whether you believe in the Panspermia theory. If you do, then life arose from extrasolar life, therefore we are spawned from biogenesis. Otherwise, in the great primordial puddle, inorganic molecules began to stick together and replicate, making life. On a much smaller, shorter scale, say of an individual organism, we are formed from egg cells (living matter) and thus are from biogenesis. HOWEVER, when we absorb inorganic substances like salt to make us funtion, that could be seen a a tag along to abiogenesis (but not really). Savvy?
Good answer, the matter is still the subject of lots of research. I think most scientists would simplify it by stating the building blocks of life (amino acids, phospholipids and some other organic molecules) have been been proved to be made by abiogenesis (this has been recreated in vitro), giving room to biogenesis to take place.
Animals arise from other animals, life forming new life this is biogenesis, so we come from biogenesis. Abiogenesis is where life arises from non living components i.e. chemicals forming basic structures that can copy themselves, they can evolve over time to form more complex organisms, like us.
