Abstract
► Carbonaceous asteroids were the earliest habitable environments in the Solar System. ► Our models show that habitable conditions could have persisted for tens of Myr. ► However, there are indications that they were inherently unfavorable for biopoesis. ► Our results do not preclude habitable conditions on larger objects such as Ceres.
