About the Book
The following books are under work or have been released in this series:
1. Evolution by trial and error, or opportunistic evolution by protection and cooperation
2. Misconceptions in evolution of life
This book is also under preparation:
4. Evolution of atmosphere and conditions with the Organelle Escape Theory
In this book I show how genetics evolved from an RNA world, first with RNA as a gene carrier, later with DNA in that role, but all the time with molecular apparatuses based upon RNA. After invention of translation, the cells were segregated. Later, organelles were invented as a place for enzymatic systems. Some of them became commuting organelles and later bacteria. Some of them consumed hydrogen as a substrate. They became "methanosomes" and archaebacteria. Others produceded hydrogen. They became the hydrogenosomes, that later became mitochondria and chloroplasts.
About the Author
I am a Norwegian electronics engineer with special interest in biology and particularly evolution and the origin of life. My work with communication technology and software has given me a background that is useful for better understanding the processes behind evolution. I am very skeptical of nature, and I do not take anything for granted just because it is written in textbooks.
