The origin of life represents one of the most challenging problems of science. However, in recent years modern biology, chemistry and physics have found a combined framework within which fundamental aspects of this problem can be formulated at the molecular level. Even though a detailed reconstruction of the historical course of the origin of life remains impossible the general principles and laws governing the transition from the non-living to the living can now be elucidated and subjected to experimental test.

The molecular view of evolution presented in this book provides in essence a physical counterpart to the classical Darwinian theory of evolution, and shows how this new approach can be applied to the problem of molecular self-organization and evolution. The book is intended both as an expository monograph and as an introductory text for advanced students of physics, chemistry and biology. As such, it represents the first cohesive presentation of the new theory of the origin of life.
