Q: We may ask the question where in the now living systems the greatest amount of information of their past history has survived and how it can be extracted?
A: Best fit are the macromolecules which carry the genetic information.

Sydney Brenner
“Searching for an objective reconstruction of the vanished past is surely the most challenging task in biology.”
“In one sense, everything in biology has already been ‘published’ in the form of DNA sequences of genomes.”

The The differences differences between 1 between 1 and 2and 2 are the result of changes changes on the on the lineage lineage leading to leading to descendant descendant 11 ++ those those on the on the lineage lineage leading to leading to descendant descendant 2.2.
