RE: Tree of Life: Are you a Unikont or a Bikont?
I hope that in 50 years we will be able to reproduce the whole evolution (what happened and what didn't but could) - in a simulation. If we managed to invent DFT and understand the electrons around the molecules, I think we will be able to this as well. If Venter made the artificial genome only a decade after the large-scale sequencing, in 5 decades - why not :)
50 years is a good estimate. The only issue then would be the fact that there are several viable ways we could have come to exist, in several environments. It would be tricky to figure out which one was us... Exciting times though!
