Evolutions deductions would naturally lead to the origin of life. Man evolved from, that evolved from, that evolved from, until you get to the beginning or the origin.
Of course the deductions raised the question of where did it begin, as a result, evolutionary biology begat the science of abiogenesis.
For those of us who are ignorant newbies, please share a link. We would like to see a substantive source of information (of your choice) about evolution that outlines how evolution explains the origin of life.

Using your logic it is equally plausible that life has always existed.
For example, 2 evolved from 1, that evolved from .5, that evolved from .25, that evolved from .125, and so on. There is no begining or origin.
Evolution attempts to explain what happened AFTER the begining. Evolution theory does NOT attempt to explain how, by whom, or why life began.

Actually, not at all. Deductively you cannot distinguish between a biological chain that has a beginning and one that does not.
We have other inductive evidence that life on earth had a beginning, but that comes mostly from geology and paleontology... not from any deductive reasoning that derives from the study of biological evolution.
You do not appear to have understood the post. Perhaps you should reread it.
Note a difference in meaning between "species" and "life."
