Can Life Exist on the Blockchain?

<h2>The Four Requirements for Natural Selection</h2> Darwin’s theory of evolution explains how, with a few straightforward conditions and sufficient time, all of the wonderful variety we see in life can emerge. It reveals how the earliest single-celled organisms swimming about in a sea of molecules began to compete—not intentionally but through the process of natural selection. Those that managed to thrive in their environment were more likely to propagate their genes, meaning their offspring would represent a higher percentage of the gene pool and would, in turn, have a higher chance of spreading their own genes through the same cycle. At its core, natural selection can only occur if four fundamental conditions are true: First, an organism must be able to pass on its genes (“heredity”). Second, that reproductive process must over time introduce differences into the gene pool, such as through mutation (“variation”). Third, the environment in which the organisms live must have limited resources necessary for survival (“scarcity”). Fourth, there cannot be any higher authority dictating how it plays out (“no oversight”). The rules of the game are the rules of physics, chemistry, and biology, and nothing but the interactions of organisms without a governing body determine who wins the battle for survival. This fourth condition is not often cited as a prerequisite for natural selection (whereas the other three typically are), but I believe it to be just as important. <a href="https://medium.com/@NirZicherman/can-life-exist-on-the-blockchain-4a4f672a4367">Visit Now</a>
