Please help me recall.
I guy that wrote the “Book” on “Chemical Evolution”, the first real attempt was written by who?
I want to say Keynon ? or something similar ?
From my understanding even though he later withdrew his theory, it still is used.
oops.
Should read “The guy”
“There was this enormous problem of how you could get together into one tiny sub-microscopic volume of the primitive ocean all of the hundreds of different molecular components you would need in order for a cell replicative cycle to be established. And so my doubts into whether amino acids could order themselves into meaningful biological sequences on their own without pre-existing genetic material being present just reached an intellectual breaking point. The more I conducted my own studies including a period of time at the NASA Ames Research Center the more it became apparent that there were multiple difficulties with the chemical evolution account”.
