Document Summary

Properties associated with water will be found anywhere. 1985 with the hiv/aids virus was the first time rna was able to be turned into dna. The rna world (ribosomes): rna that have catalytic ability without. Proteins first: assemble a bunch of amino acids that have multiple functions possibly creating a rna strand that self replicates. Clays: is a mineral with charges, elements interact as sheets/matrices/change properties of clay. Those original amino acids contacted clay formed ionic compound arranged them in long stands, chemical reaction. (newer theory; abiotic) Inorganic to small organic life prebiotic soups, hydrothermal vents, interstellar organics. Organicists- vital force repaced by genetic program and the importance of emergence. Emergence- more than the sum of the parts. Organized: with the cell as the fundamental unit. Responding: sensing and interacting with the surrounding world. Growth (houseman doesn"t believe in this) increase in size. The outer planets of the solar system are made up frozen gases.
