Where it came from
Molecular Theory of Evolution was written by physicist and philosopher Bernd-Olaf Küppers and published by Springer-Verlag in 1983. The book emerged during a period of intense theoretical development in molecular biology, as researchers sought to reconcile the mechanics of genetics with the thermodynamic principles governing self-organizing systems. Küppers, who was a close colleague of the Nobel laureate Manfred Eigen, aimed to provide a rigorous mathematical foundation for the origin of life, specifically focusing on the transition from non-living matter to biological structures.
The text is largely framed by the concept of 'molecular Darwinism,' exploring how information-carrying molecules like RNA might have evolved through cycles of replication and selection. In its design and structure, the book acts as an advanced monograph intended for theoretical biologists, physicists, and mathematicians. It was received as a significant, albeit dense, contribution to the field of theoretical biology, praised for its attempt to bring the precision of physics to the notoriously complex problem of abiogenesis.
