Biology textbooks still show DNA, without the double helix of water, that is needed to make the DNA bioactive. Those textbook images are obsolete and misleading. It is like a computer without software, pretending the hardware does the work of the software; black box. That is obsolete mythology. If you extrapolate from that weak foundation, how can the current conclusions be considered state of the art? This is why the black box cheat is needed. Real science does not need to cheat. Margin or error means bad data from an obsolete theory, fudged to look better.
We need to add water to the DNA foundation, and then start doing the real 2024 biology, needed to explain the true nature of evolution. I already did it.
It turns out that water is the key, since it impacts more just the DNA. Life will not work without water and nothing in the cell works without water, nor will these work in other solvents. You add water, you add life. Natural selection behind evolution is not just outside life, but life also evolves internally, by natural selection, via the internal nano-scale water environment. How else can you explain everything in cells tuned to just water? Water selected them all. Bad science has fried too many brains to where the obvious is not obvious.
For example, cell membranes form because of water. Water and oil do not mix but will separate. Amphipathic lipids has both polar ends and non polar tails, when the bulk water and this oily material separates, you get a micelle, with the polar ends touch water and the oily tails avoiding water to lower the system surface tension. This is not black box but follows simple logic. It would not have taken million years of random trial and error form a membrane, but rather with the right materials, it can happens in minutes. Water gives order.
