What I wonder though is whether it happened in cells, or in something more like free protoplasm, with nuclei or even with free floating stuff that these days we generally only find in nuclei, in protists, or in prokaryotes.

Interesting?

I've watched all of the channel's videos and I highly recommend it.

I started it with a video from
@JourneyToMicro
and a few posts about some of my thoughts on pre-cellular biological evolution at

https://twitter.com/DonaldKronos/status/1301032221323616257

and I've added more since then as the conversation evolves.
