Natural selection as we know it operates on genes, so organic matter would not have been able to evolve the first cell through the natural selection process we are familiar with. However, I propose that a more primitive form of natural selection evolved the first cell.
I suspect that because I found, in my social theory research in “The Last Civilization,” that there is a non-genetic form of natural selection operating in and between societies (social evolution) that passes on traits and which is also done without involving genes.
However, I don't pretend to know how an alternate form of natural selection might work in organic matter. Does anyone else have any idea, someone with more training in chemistry?
