Aleksandr Evgenievich Fersman was a Russian geochemist and mineralogist.
He made major contributions to Russian geology, both in theory and exploration, advancing scientific understanding of crystallography and the distribution of elements in the earth's crust, as well as founding a popular scientific journal and writing biographical sketches of eminent scientists.
The Fersman family moved to Moscow in 1903 because Aleksandr's father became commander of the First Moscow Cadet Corps.

With the tentative understanding of valence, Scotsman Archibald Couper and Kekulé, in 1858 recognized independently the chain-forming capacity of carbon atoms, and thus made possible the assigning of usually correct formulas.
Then, Russian chemist Aleksandr Butlerov, who explicitly credited Couper for his basic ideas, and Austrian chemist Joseph Loschmidt, who wrote out over 300 structures without even using bond lines, wrote numerous mainly correct formulas.
Butlerov pointed out that the formulas of the structural theory of 1858 were topological, telling which atoms were linked to which others.

The first life-forms, he contended, had been plantlike microorganisms, capable of photosynthesis, that had evolved directly out of nonliving matter according to physical laws.
In 1924, the Russian plant biochemist and evolutionary biologist Aleksandr I. Oparin questioned Haeckel’s scheme.
In a sense, Miller and Urey were also heirs to a second tradition of scientific thought, distinct from that of Darwin, whose aim can be understood today as an attempt to synthesize molecules of prebiotic significance.

They could not accept that by starting from conditions and structures that did not correspond to reality one could be led to meaningful results.
Of course, they discussed analytically the work of Aleksandr M. Butlerov who in 1861 had proposed a materialist conception of chemical structure: this was the distribu- tion of the action of the chemical force, known as affinity, by which atoms are united into molecules.
He insisted that any derived formula should express a real sub- stance, a real situation.
