Humorism, or humoralism, was a system of medicine detailing the makeup and workings of the human body, adopted by Ancient Greek and Roman physicians and philosophers, positing that an excess or deficiency of any of four distinct bodily fluids in a person—known as humors or humours—directly influences their temperament ...

You're merely asking me to repeat myself then. Any physical life and attributes thereof that has evolved here is the culmination of Earth's dynamism and generally warm climate over a very long period of time. Why then should we be expecting life forms similar to those we might find here on another planet/moon that is nothing like the Earth?
Is the proposal that conditions don't need to be very dynamic or favourable for life? If so, then why haven't we found fuck all on Mars yet which we've been studying for decades? (Mars being much more favourable and dynamic than anywhere else we know)

Rewriting Life
First evidence that amino acids formed soon after the Big Bang
A new measurement of chemical evolution suggests that amino acids filled the early universe some nine billion years before life emerged. That has important implications for understanding the origin of life and attempting to re-create it in the lab.

I'm guessing you're still trying to figure how primitive life might be possible on the surface of Venus.

At those speeds, you're looking at about a quarter of a million years travel time, just to cross the distance between here and Alpha Centauri. That's rather a long time for microbes to survive in interstellar space.

Well, it looks like you're going to be all about vocabulary and terminology, juju, instead of about chemical dynamics. That's okay, because pedantry is a lot easier than chemical dynamics.

Clearly you are out of your depth here. Keep to the knitting pages, where you won't embarrass yourself.
