Abstract
The question "What was the minimum number of genes necessary in the early cell" is rephrased as "Is it feasible to assume that early cells had no genes?" It is shown that a kind of primitive life process could exist on the basis only of properties specific to vesicles, and that it would have the potential to evolve into more complex cell-like processes.Mesh：
