>>When there was just one life form, there were no species of life
Speciation includes the ability to identify and procreate with similar life forms.
RNA Molecules which were not able to procreate with one another would still be molecular life forms - but different molecular species.
“Speciation includes the ability to identify and procreate with similar life forms.”
So organisms that reproduce asexually aren’t part of a species! (That’s a rhetorical question pointing out your ignorance).
“RNA Molecules which were not able to procreate with one another would still be molecular life forms - but different molecular species.”
Why do you think RNA molecules can’t “procreate with one other”?
What does species mean?
“RNA Molecules which were not able to procreate with one another would still be molecular life forms - but different molecular species.”
I want to not forget to say, yes.
And if they reproduce, they are life.
