Assembly Theory explains why selection and evolution had to predate the origin of life nature.com/articles/s41586-0… The theory gives a framework for understanding, prediction, and the development of new experiments that can demonstrate selection in inorganic systems.

To wrap up the first day of #IOoL2024, it's time to get philosophical! We had some great discussions during our first roundtable session: from the definition of life (do we even need one?) to the impact of OoL research on the general public. Share your philosophic takes below! 👇
