Abstract: The question of how life on Earth evolved was the subject of a recent meeting. There are currently three main promising lines of research: that life evolved due to replication of nucleic acids on a surface; that there was in vitro construction of a catalytic RNA (ribozyme); or that the first oligonucleotides were formed by the ligation of smaller nucleic-acid units
