" Life "
Ridley talked about the Biblical book of Genesis, he mentions about the 'word'. As I read on I discovered that 'words' actually are the protein sequence in the RNA that makes up genes. He tells the reader that DNA is a pattern in written words. Ridley also talks about the history of life, beginning with RNA, which creates DNA. RNA is the protein recipe to create DNA. LUCA was mentioned, the Last Universal Common Ancestor, was believed to be a bacterium living in a hot marine environment. Erasmus Darwin, a poet and physician concluded that genes are fragments of our life. Francis Crick, worked on designs of naval mines near Portsmouth, and James Watson, aged 15 is enrolled at the University of Chicago.... both the future inverters of the DNA model. Maurice Wilkins helped design the atomic bomb for the United States in WW2. Rosalind Franklin is studying the structure of the coal for the British government. Osward Avery identified DNA as the chemical manifestation of heredity. RNA came before proteins.
