What you need to know.
He doesn't speak about everything and the laws around guns in Switzerland, but the fundamentals are there.

I recommend the watch.

#Scientists Make Breakthrough in Solving the Mystery of Life’s Origin
For years, researchers have puzzled over how two ingredients for life, first linked up on early #Earth. Now, they’ve found the “missing link,” and demonstrated this reaction in the lab.
This biological process, #RNA & #AminoAcids had to become attached at some point. This key step, known as RNA aminoacylation, has never been experimentally observed in early Earth-like conditions.

Where did RNA come from? Origin-of-life scientists help to answer the question

https://phys.org/news/2025-07-rna-life-scientists.html

Molecular Origin of Life: What Formed First – Protein, DNA or RNA or a Combination Thereof?
‘Several questions about origin of life have been answered, but much remains to be studied’’ said Stanley Miller and Harold Urey way back in 1959...........

Turns out RNA can make a GNRA tetraloop-like motif out of almost anything! Like in these pentaloops, whose looped-out bases interact with proteins.
