I watched a video lately describing how life could have arisen on Earth near the hydrothermal vents, with the exact way it formed being unknown.
This made me wonder could there be a very simple configuration of DNA (or RNA?) that could give rise to life?
I'm thinking the earliest life forms may have had the simplest/bare minimum assembly of molecules for it to be considered life.
So perhaps if scientists find this simple configuration then the question of how life formed may not be so complicated to answer after all.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this.
