I've read that life on Earth probably originated in Outer Space. This makes sense because the DNA of all the species on earth are extremely similar, which means (do tell me if I'm wrong!) that it all evolved from one source.
So does this mean aliens have the same DNA as we do, meaning they have the same "ancestors" as us ? Or is it possible to have life without DNA ? With a completely different molecule that performes the same functions ? And in that case, why don't we have that sort of life-forms here on Earth ?
Are there any biologists who succeeded at developing new primitive life-forms ? If so, do they have DNA or not ? If they do, they wouldn't be really "new", I guess, since it'd have to be the DNA of a pre-existing species, wouldn't it ?
