"What characterizes the living world is the basic unity that underlies its tremendous diversity. The living world contains bacteria and whales, viruses and elephants, organisms living in polar areas at -20oC and others living in hot springs at 70oC. All these creatures, however, exhibit a remarkable unity of structure and function. Similar polymers fulfill similar functions. The genetic code is the same and the translating machinery very nearly so. "

Francois Jacob. The Possible and the Actual. 1982. Pantheon Books.
