pretty fucked up that eukaryotic and prokaryotic DNA polymerases arent homologous https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3809583/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/artic...

like, super fucked up actually

refused to believe it first time i heard of it

still mad this didn& #39;t come up in any classes i ever had

ran across a paper arguing that the last universal common ancestor had an RNA genome and i was like dont be silly, we both use DNA now so occam& #39;s razor that shit bro

then they brought out THIS joker of a fact and i didnt know what to do

still dont

i suspect one unfortunate side effect of the creationism wars is that there is a temptation to gloss over how very, very little we know about deep evolution

RNA world hypothesis and such is cool shit and all but there& #39;s a lot that just plain don& #39;t make any sense
