dc.description.abstract |
If the emergence of life is seen as the evolutionary transition between the nonliving and the living, then it may be meaningless to draw a strict line between these two worlds. A comparison between the metabolic and geneticfirst originoflife proposals is made. A comparison of the empirical evidence used in favor of the metabolicfirst and geneticfirst theories of the origin of life shows that many of the observations and experimental findings that are used to argue in favor of one or another view are equally consistent with the premises of both theories and do not unambiguously support neither of them. However, current biology indicates that life could not have evolved in the absence of a genetic replicating mechanism insuring the stability and diversification of its basic components. |
