• Original Source Material
To return to the primeval soup, it must have become populated by stable varieties of molecule; stable in that either the individual molecules lasted a long time, or they replicated rapidly, or they replicated accurately. Evolutionary trends toward these three kinds of stability took place in the following sense: if you had sampled the soup at two different times, the later sample would have contained a higher proportion of varieties with high longevity/fecundity/copying-fidelity.

• Student Version (written in 2002)
The "primeval soup...must have become populated by stable varies of molecule" and over time would contain "a higher proportion of varieties with high longevity/fecundity/copying-fidelity" (Dawkins, 1989, p. 18).
