I consider this issue pretty much answered by Chapter 2 of the Selfish Gene, "the replicators". Link: http://www.evolbiol.ru/gene/index_2en.html#02 http://www.evolbiol.ru/gene/index_2en.html#02
- DougMerritt 11y agoPlease. I've always liked that book quite a lot, but Dawkins did not present (and did not claim to present) a theory of abiogenesis. No one has ever presented an actual theory of abiogenesis, the current article notwithstanding, as opposed to some intriguing but speculative hypotheses that might (or might not) turn out to be part of an eventual theory (RNA world, clay catalysts, deep sea smokers, lipid membranes, etc. etc.) Considering a totally open subject to actually be answered and finished is just saying you personally don't care to pursue the topic in more depth.
