Are RNA Viruses Vestiges of an RNA World?
Journal for General Philosophy of Science, 2010This paper follows the circuitous path of theories concerning the origins of viruses from the early years of the twentieth century until the present, considering RNA viruses in particular. I focus on three periods during which new understandings of the nature of viruses guided the construction and reconstruction of origin hypotheses.
