ON THE THEORY OF PREBIOTIC EVOLUTION [PDF]
Filozofia i NaukaThe main theorems of the theory of evolution of open catalytic systems are briefly presented. The difference between the “natural-historical” and “actualistic” approach to the problem of the origins of life was highlighted.

Group selection models in prebiotic evolution [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2000 The evolution of enzyme production is studied analytically using ideas of the group selection theory for the evolution of altruistic behavior. In particular, we argue that the mathematical formulation of Wilson's structured deme model ({\it The Evolution

The prebiotic emergence of biological evolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe origin of life must have been preceded by Darwin-like evolutionary dynamics that could propagate it. How did that adaptive dynamics arise? And from what prebiotic molecules?

Natural Pyrrhotite as a Catalyst in Prebiotic Chemical Evolution [PDF]
Life, 2013 The idea of an autotrophic organism as the first living being on Earth leads to the hypothesis of a protometabolic, complex chemical system. In one of the main hypotheses, the first metabolic systems emerged from the interaction between sulfide minerals ...

Emergence and diversification of a host-parasite RNA ecosystem through Darwinian evolution
eLife, 2020 In prebiotic evolution, molecular self-replicators are considered to develop into diverse, complex living organisms. The appearance of parasitic replicators is believed inevitable in this process.

The Grayness of the Origin of Life
Life, 2021 In the search for life beyond Earth, distinguishing the living from the non-living is paramount. However, this distinction is often elusive, as the origin of life is likely a stepwise evolutionary process, not a singular event.

Prebiotic chemistry: a review of nucleoside phosphorylation and polymerization
Open Biology, 2023 The phosphorylation of nucleosides and their polymerization are crucial issues concerning the origin of life. The question of how these plausible chemical processes took place in the prebiotic Earth is still perplexing, despite several studies that have ...
