The evolution of replicators.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 29 Nov 2000

Szathmáry E

Abstract excerpt

Replicators of interest in chemistry, biology and culture are briefly surveyed from a conceptual point of view. Systems with limited heredity have only a limited evolutionary potential because the number of available types is too low. Chemical cycles, such as the formose reaction, are holistic replicators since replication is not based on the successive addition of modules. Replicator networks consisting of...
