About this listen

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.

Note that this is an audiobook read directly by the author, who has a French accent.

J F Gariepy follows up his previous masterpiece, "The Selfish Gene" with "The Revolutionary Phenotype".
Joking aside, this book will send a shiver up your spine, with in depth detail on how DNA could have replaced RNA and an excellent hypothetical story of how the human race could be replaced. JF"s reading of this is well done.
