There is also a microcosm view of evolution right here when you look at the pieces.
Simple amino acids that cant replicate floating around in the 'primordial soup'.. but then some self-replicating proteins like prions forming.. which lead to RNA being used to encode simple reproductive information, and then later on this being used by DNA to replicate which itself carries far more complex information with error checking and correction mechanisms built-in.
Like nested matryoshka dolls all each performing some part of the total function.
Life is beautiful and amazing, and we arent at the end of the line by any means yet. Not when the evil-doers trying to hijack basic life interactions with their own infernal mimicry are all cast down and destroyed.
