  • I'm cribbing this from the ZnS world theory of Mulkidjanian et al and the neomura theory of Cavalier-Smith which nicely mesh together in their respective abiogenetic/phylogenetic theories, resulting in a substantially testable, and tested, complete pathway to the RNA world and beyond.

  • Both of them are late in the fossil record, and if you believe the neomura theory of Cavalier-Smith they are the twins of also late eukaryotes that genome sequencing and structural phylogeny hints at.

  • In the neomura theory it was very unlikely that earlier organisms, bacteria, trapped in their non-extremophile yet sturdy protein exoskeleton cell wall, would be able to loose it to develop a new extremophile one (archaebacteria) respectively develop an endoskeleton flexible cell (eukaryotes).
