The randomness of evolution is the randomness of mutationand variation. The survival of the fittest, or not, of those variations was never postulated to be random, but always enviornmentally driven.

I think the reporter has badly misunderstood the current controversy.

Agreed.

The author completely misses the point. It's a given that living things are constrained by their chemical and physical surroundings. The author proclaims this as though it's a aurprise.

That said, it looks liki quite an achievement to relate the sequence of early evolution to basic chemical principles.
