The Final Nail in the RNA World Coffin

Описание: Royal Truman critiques the RNA world hypothesis by arguing that all known RNA functions are inseparable from proteins and complex cellular systems, making an RNA-only origin of life biologically implausible. He concludes that the interdependent complexity of DNA, RNA, and proteins points away from stepwise evolution and toward a coordinated system from the outset.
