   Related to this; Check out the book The Revolutionary Phenotype. "The Revolutionary Phenotype is a science book that brings us four billion years into the past, when the first living molecules showed up on Planet Earth. Unlike what was previously thought, we learn that DNA-based life did not emerge from random events in a primordial soup. Indeed, the first molecules of DNA were fabricated by a previous life form. By describing the fascinating events referred to as Phenotypic Revolutions, this book provides a dire warning to humanity: if humans continue to play with their own genes, we will be the next life form to fall to our own creation. "I am VERY impressed with this book—very important topic very well treated." - Robert Trivers"

   "The Revolutionary Phenotype" by Dr. Gariepy is a continuation of Dawkins Selfish Gene and Extended Phenotype.

   In it he explains the emergence of genetic layers, provides a theory on the emergence of sex and lays out the best argument against gene editing to this date. After reading this book I consider all of the major questions of evolution answered.

   You must read the book "The Revolutionary Phenotype: The amazing story of how life begins and how it ends" by J.F. Gariepy, PhD.. It outlines how genetic modification will eventually result in DNA being replaced completely with a new system if we continue down this path.

   Watch this short clip where he explains in detail what the book is about: https://youtu.be/mFQk7ausjd8?t=131

   I do not mean to be advertising for him, I feel it's important for people to understand that what will happen will be equivalent to RNA based lifeforms being replaced with DNA based lifeforms...
