Robert Shapiro (chemist)
Robert Shapiro (28 November 1935 – 15 June 2011〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://chemistry.fas.nyu.edu/object/chem.news.bobshapiropassesaway )〕) was professor emeritus of chemistry at New York University. He is best known for his work on the origin of life, having written two books on the topic: ''Origins, a Skeptic’s Guide to the Creation of Life on Earth'' (1986) and ''Planetary Dreams'' (2001). He opposed the RNA world hypothesis, and held that the spontaneous emergence of a molecule as complicated as RNA is highly unlikely. Instead, he proposed that life arose from some self-sustaining and compartmentalized reaction of simple molecules: "metabolism first" instead of "RNA first". This reaction would have to be able to reproduce and evolve, eventually leading to RNA. He claimed that in this view life is a normal consequence of the laws of nature and potentially quite common in the universe.〔Alvin Powell, (NYU chemist Robert Shapiro decries RNA-first possibility ), ''Harvard University Gazette'', 23 October 2008〕
