Hey Wormy. If your not busy with Wormy-Stuff, for my fiction, I haven't done much for the planet's environment. The core would have cobalt and nickel creating a strong magnetic field and the atmosphere would be really thick with lots of storms due to the huge oceans, so I don't think early life would use sunlight.

How do you think life and the civilization that might evolve their would be affected if most early life carbon or some other one used chemosynthesis adapting to a planet filled with sulfur or ammonia mixed into the water oceans and an atmosphere that has lots of methane and hydrogen in addition to oxygen? It would be safe that it would have lower amounts of nitrogen compared to earth.

So what kind of biochemistry do you think would be most effective and how complex do you think it might be?
