Between the two extremes and exclusive views of a prebiotic world of peptidic "chicken-first" and a "RNA world" of ribozymic "egg-first", there was time for a pre-RNA world in which peptides-protoproteins and riboseless, prenucleic polybasephosphate infopolymers could have coevoluted as peptide-clothed protogenes or "chicken and egg". Thereby, amino acids of the poorly informational, primeval peptides would have been encoded by deterministic, stereochemically specific "frozen interactions" with the polybasephosphates visualized as primordial replicators.
