This theory is the brainchild of A.G. Cairns-Smith, who is in the chemistry
department here (I haven't met him).  He's written at least two books about
it:  "Genetic Takeover and the Origin of Life" is one.  (I can't check the
references since our library computer gets shut down whenever the library's
closed).  Try "Books in Print" or "British Books in Print" for the details.
