Sorry for the delay.
What I meant by, "more fundamental questions," is this: We have a fine understanding of inheritance mechanism(s), but, the question remains, how the bleep did such a mechanism come into existence, that is, what is the origin?
I don't know but that is completely irrelevant to the question of common ancestry. ...
Yes you don't know, that's correct. I asked how the inheritance mechanism came into existence. Plainly, clearly
I will type very slowly in the off-chance that it will help: How did the inheritance mechanism originate?
I don't know. Nobody knows. It's being investigated.
