| Abstract | | Modern science still did not give us a satisfactory empirical explanation of increasing complexity in living beings through the evolutionary history. This question poses itself when comparing simple prokaryotic cells with more complex eukaryotic cells or comparing these with animals or plants or the most complex phenomena, e.g. consciousness and human language. The proposed thesis defends the hypothesis that at the beginning in the origins of life the evolution had to first involve autocatalytic systems, which only subsequently acquired the capacity of genetic heredity.
