At the bottom end—the nanometer and femtosecond scales—biologically active molecules work together to keep cells alive and reproducing. And at size and time-scales in b...

The second stage likewise involved chemistry, but with the additional participation of selection, a necessary concomitant of inevitable replication accidents. Consideration of these two processes suggests t...
