Steps towards Life: A Perspective on Evolution par Manfred Eigen

This is an English translation of some notes and ideas of Manfed Eugene, who was a Nobel prize winner in physical chemistry. I found this information disappointing, as I was hoping for a more clear explanation of evolution. The vignettes in section two are especially challenging to make sense of.
