Prebiotic+Evolution+(overview)

Next: Prebiotic evolution

TO DO:

- Add Takeuchi (2009) results. Waves (non-vesicle) case between "hypercycles and timescales" and "Nicholson-Baily", vesicle case at the end (after Takeuchi 2003)

= Prebiotic Evolution and more=

We have discussed various model formalisms and developed some feeling for what we can learn from models. Now we shift focus to biological themes, where we use models to obtain greater insight into biology. We start with one of the great themes of biology, and science in general, the origin of life.

In this section:
 * 1)  Prebiotic evolution
 * RNA world
 * 1)  Quasi-species theory (Eigen & Schuster)
 * Master-mutant simplification
 * The information threshold
 * 1)  Hypercycles
 * Hypercycles in ODE (Eigen & Schuster)
 * Hypercycles in space (Boerlijst)
 * Multi-level evolution: emergent levels of selection
 * A minimal eco-evolutionary model of emergent levels of selection (Takeuchi, 2009)
