I disagree.  ``Seven Clues to the Origin of Life'' was so incomplete I
immediately got a copy of ``Genetic Takeover.''  It was much more
satisfying (as well as making a lot of sense).

>But it was still originally an 'RNA world.'

I did not get the ``RNA World'' conclusion from the book -- did I miss
it, or is this just a plausible guess like the rest of the book (no
slam, that is the stated purpose of the book).
