Of course not, since in geological time scales of millions & billions of years, we'd be long dead before anything really interesting happened.

And understanding that all ideas regarding abiogenesis are in the realms of speculation and hypotheses, still, there's been some quite recent revisiting of Darwin's "warm little pond" musings.

"Life first emerged in 'warm little ponds' almost as old as the Earth itself - Charles Darwin's famous idea backed by new scientific study."
