Re: What did the first Organic Thingamadoodle eat?Bill Burnett (bbur@dml.ac.uk)16 Dec 1996 12:59:00 GMT
reduced molecules that were floating around at the time. As these got used up, the thingamadoodles started to make their own and the electron transfer chain evolved. Things get yet more scarce and we get such exciting biochemical pathways as glycolysis, Krebs', and Calvin cycles in simple single celled organisms. These are sequestered by larger cells and we have the first eukaryotes. A few billion years later Ed appears and denies any of it ever happened - living proof that evolution doesn't always move towards higher complexity.
