Originator dynamics.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Feb 2009

Manapat Michael, Ohtsuki Hisashi, Bürger Reinhard, Nowak Martin A

Abstract excerpt

We study the origin of evolution. Evolution is based on replication, mutation, and selection. But how does evolution begin? When do chemical kinetics turn into evolutionary dynamics? We propose "prelife" and "prevolution" as the logical precursors of life and evolution. Prelife generates sequence...
