A Pre-RNA World?

The most recent origin of life theory involves a pre-RNA living molecule. This molecule probably lacked cytosine and ribose. Because such a molecule no longer exists in life, it is hard to address all the possible candidates. How can one possibly test an hypothesis phrased as follows: We believe that some chemical (but we don’t know what it was) at one time lived on earth, and this chemical was capable of self replication. We are confident that one day we will find it, and prove our hypothesis correct.
