It’s generally believed that the most complex systems of our world began from very simple things. Then, as a force of survival, evolution began to occur, and things gradually became more complex. This same perspective applies to science’s general understanding of the origin of life. The entire complexity of the molecular system, and life as we know it, all began from something very small, and has evolved into the concept of genetics and modern biology.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: RNA, Evolution
