The impressive body of work on the major evolutionary transitions in the last 20 y calls for a reconstruction of the theory although a 2D account (evolution of informational systems and transitions…
The major evolutionary transitions

There is no theoretical reason to expect evolutionary lineages to increase in complexity with time, and no empirical evidence that they do so. Nevertheless, eukaryotic cells are more complex than…

It is discovered that if general conditions are satisfied, the accumulation of adaptations in chemical reaction networks can occur, and only when a chemical reaction network consists of many viable cores, can it be evolvable.

Coding coenzyme handles: a hypothesis for the origin of the genetic code.
- E. Szathmáry
- BiologyProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 1 November 1993
The coding coenzyme handle hypothesis suggests that useful coding preceded translation, and extension of the genetic code proceeded through the take-over of nonsense codons by novel amino acids, related to already coded ones either through precursor-product relationship or physicochemical similarity.

The Origins of Life: From the Birth of Life to the Origin of Language
- John Maynard Smith, E. Szathmáry
- Art
- 1999
The Origins of Life represents the thinking of two leading scientists on questions that engage us all--how life began and how it gradually evolved from tiny invisible cells into whales and trees and human beings.
The origin of chromosomes. I. Selection for linkage.
- J. M. Smith, E. Szathmáry
- BiologyJournal of Theoretical Biology
- 21 October 1993
A model is analysed of cells containing independently replicating genes, which segregate randomly when the cell divides. We follow the fate of a primitive chromosome, in which two genes are linked,…
