I really hate that feeling when you need an explanation for at least a couple frames but you're too early to read it and too dumb to write it. [[Special:Contributions/172.68.3.27|172.68.3.27]] 14:34, 26 February 2025 (UTC)<br />

The 2040's guess in the title text is wild, and would be SO cool if we were able to discover that in 20 years.<br />

1960s: central dogma of molecular biology; 1980s: discovery of catalytic self-splicing RNA; 2000s: genomic sequencing and discovery of diverse array of non-coding RNAs; 2040s: extrapolation of RNA hypothesis, with aside to notion that life may have arisen multiple times (earlier instances extinguished by large impacts)<br />

Should the transcript point out the changes in the poster in each frame? Maybe in the later frames those are RNA rather than DNA.
