Woese's dogma is a fundamental principle of evolutionary biology first put forth by biophysicist Carl Woese in 1977. It states that the evolution of ribosomal RNA was a necessary precursor to the evolution of modern life forms.[1] This led to the advancement of the phylogenetic tree of life consisting of three domains rather than the previously accepted two.[2]
