Energy-harnessing problem solving of primordial life: Modeling the emergence of catalytic host-nested parasite life cycles.
All life forms on earth ultimately descended from a primordial population dubbed the last universal common ancestor or LUCA via Darwinian evolution. Extant living systems share two salient functional features, a metabolism extracting and transforming energy required for survival, and an evolvable, i...
