New Experiments Bolster the RNA World Theory: How Life Could Have Begun on Early Earth
New Experiments Reinforce the RNA World Hypothesis Scientists have long debated how life began on Earth, with the RNA World hypothesis standing as one of the most influential ideas. This theory posits that RNA, a molecule capable of both storing genetic information and catalyzing chemical reactions, played a key role in the origin of life…

New Experiments Strengthen RNA World Theory on the Origin of Life
What the RNA World Hypothesis Proposes The RNA world hypothesis suggests that life began with RNA molecules capable of storing genetic information and catalyzing chemical reactions. Long before DNA and proteins dominated biology, RNA could have served as both information carrier and catalyst, enabling the first self-replicating systems. This scenario helps explain how early life…

RNA World Revisited: New Experiments Bolster How Life Began on Earth
New Experiments Reinforce the RNA World Hypothesis For decades, scientists have debated how life first emerged on Earth. A leading idea, the RNA world hypothesis, proposes that ribonucleic acid (RNA) played a central role in early life: capable of storing genetic information and catalyzing chemical reactions before proteins and DNA became essential. Recent experiments are…
