Synthetic Evolution: Genetically Minimal Artificial Cells Prove "Life Finds a Way" (INDIANA UNIVERSITY, JULY 8, 2023)
[Evolutionary biologist Jay T. ] Lennon, a professor in the College of Arts and Sciences Department of Biology at Indiana University Bloomington, and his colleagues have found that life does indeed find a way. Lennon's research team has been studying a synthetically constructed minimal cell that has been stripped of all but its essential genes. The team found that the streamlined cell can evolve just as fast as a normal cell--demonstrating the capacity for organisms to adapt, even with an unnatural genome that would seemingly provide little flexibility.
Teleology works.
