The genetic code inside Ebola is a single strand of RNA. This type of molecule is thought to be the oldest and most “primitive” coding mechanism for life. The earth's primordial ocean, which came into existence not long after the earth was formed, suggests microscopic life forms based on RNA. This suggests that Ebola is an ancient form of life as old as the earth itself.
