re: Also Lynn Margulis' "Environmental Evolution"

Has a very interesting chapter on Tholins by Clifford Matthews who describes Tholins as HCN polymers and discusses ways that tholin chemistry could be major precursors to the complexity of Terrestrial biochemistry.

The whole book is worth a read for different slants on how life works.
