You are talking about RNA to DNA? I was talking about the takeovers before that.
Whether you describe RNA to DNA as a “takeover” depends on what you mean by the term. The issue is whether an “upgrade” is a “takeover”. The other issue is whether it really was just an upgrade—but that seems fairly likely.
I wasn’t talking about a mythical takeover—just one of the ones before RNA.
There may not be monkeys for much longer—this is a pretty massive mass extinction—it seems quite likely that all the vertebrates will go.
There are no traces left over from before the last genetic takeover
A phenotypic takeover may be a highly significant event—but it should surely not be categorised as a genetic takeover. That term surely ought to refer to genes being replaced by other genes.

I was referring to DNA → RNA → protein taking over from RNA → RNA.
A change in the meaning and expression of genes is more significant than a minor change in the chemical nature of genes.
Right—but I originally said;
