Synopsis
A departure from mainstream biology, the idea of symbiosis - as in the genetic andmetabolic interactions of the bacterial communities that became the earliest eukaryotes andeventually evolved into plants and animals - has attracted the attention of a growing number ofscientists.These original contributions by symbiosis biologists and evolutionary theorists addressthe adequacy of the prevailing neo-Darwinian concept of evolution in the light of growing evidencethat hereditary symbiosis, supplemented by the gradual accumulation of heritable mutation, resultsin the origin of new species and morphological novelty. They include reports of current research onthe evolutionary consequences of symbiosis, the protracted physical association between organisms ofdifferent species. Among the issues considered are individuality and evolution, microbial symbioses,animalbacterial symbioses, and the importance of symbiosis in cell evolution, ecology, andmorphogenesis.Lynn Margulis, Distinguished Professor of Botany at the University of Massachusetts atAmherst, is the modern originator of the symbiotic theory of cell evolution. Once considered heresy,her ideas are now part of the microbiological revolution. René Fester is a graduate student in thebiological sciences at Northern Arizona University.Contributors: Peter Atsatt.
