Could the #ribosome be a selfish element? @mkrupovic & Eugene Koonin propose that the #evolution of life can viewed as a ribosomal takeover, where the ribosome evolved to consume most of the cell’s resources.

🌍🦠 Scientists discovered unmistakable molecular fingerprints of ancient life in 3.33-billion-year-old rocks, and photosynthesis in rocks up to 2.52 billion years old, using AI and advanced chemistry. Earth was alive much earlier than previously thought! Read more: https://thedebrief.org/life-on-earth-began-about-one-billion-years-earlier-than-previously-thought-new-research-finds/

Scientists are getting close to recreating life’s first evolutionary steps - building simple replicators from basic molecules. The evolution of life itself is just fascinating! #OriginsOfLife #Biology #Evolution #ScienceDiscovery #NewScientist #ResearchSky

A team at ORIGINS, a Munich-based Cluster of Excellence, demonstrates how early #RNA molecules could have stabilized, offering insights into the #OriginsOfLife on Earth: http://go.tum.de/343119 🧬

Oxygen processing and electron transport infrastructure in 'Asgard' archaea.

These are the closest relatives to the multi-celled complex lifeforms we see.

Their discovery completely changed how scientists understand the tree of life.

This paper discovers Asgard species and proteins that allow them to 'breathe' oxygen. It was thought archea absorbed bacteria for oxygen processing, but that might not be necessary.

There might be some merits to this screamingly terrible #AssemblyTheory paper on the #OriginsofLife in #Nature I haven’t been able to catch yet, but it certainly doesn’t help your case when the answer to criticism involves rambling about “virtue signaling,” “getting triggered,” and “offending your worldview” on #Xittler, topped off by the usual misappropriation of Kuhn.

Screenshots from the infernal cesspit taken by me.

`For the team of researchers, these results are pretty clear. “Hence, we suggest that GCRs (Galactic Cosmic Rays) and SEP (Solar Energetic Particle) events from the young Sun represent the most effective energy sources for the prebiotic formation of biologically important organic compounds from weakly reducing atmospheres.”`
