"Chromosome 1: Life"
"In this way simple truths can be read from the book that is the genome: the unity of all life, the primacy of RNA, the chemistry of the very earliest life on the plant, the fact that large, single-celled creatures were probably the ancestors of bacteria, not vice versa." is stated by Matt Ridley in his chapter of "Life". In this chapter, Ridley compares RNA and DNA. He also mentions the beginnings of life, its history, Ridley and also mentions bacteria. In the start of this chapter he mentions a "word" and later reveals it to be RNA. Similarly, Ridley talks about books and languages and connects those topics to the genomes by comparing it to being a book. Therefore, Ridley introduces the importance of genomes and its relation to life.
