endosymbiosis

Maybe the highlights would be Lynn Margulis and the endosymbiosis theory, and Carl Woese finding the Archaea in 1977.

And I'll still say that endosymbiosis being the shortest path to scaling oxygen metabolism is probably Earth happenstance (with a reminder that cellular endosymbiosis is also common).

It took many decades for Lynn Margulis's endosymbiosis theory to catch on, but it did.

This was a rather controversial theory called Endosymbiosis and it was pioneered by Lynn Margulis.

He's a British biochemist working at University College London and the book offers a detailed hypothetical route to the eukaryotic endosymbiosis.

(Which in turn depends on the endosymbiosis of mitochondria.) Put simply, I expect the universe is littered with single-celled life.

This process, known as primary endosymbiosis, happened at least twice, for mitochondria and chloroplasts.

The microflora would need to have gotten there somehow, something analogous to endosymbiosis.

I was looking for specific notions explaining the emergence of this kind of endosymbiosis, anybody has links?

So I'd agree Christianity has always been a bit of a symbiosis of cultures, analogous as you said to endosymbiosis.

You're scepticism of the media hype claim is correct though, there are other well known examples of endosymbiosis like this occurring, primary and secondary.

That's a different meaning of endosymbiosis at a more macro scale.

> the idea that eucaryotes came into being ("genesis") because some prior lifeforms joined in endosymbiosis is the theory of symbiogenesis Nope, endosymbiosis refers to the theory per se [1].

Symbiogenesis is the idea that eucaryotes came into being ("genesis") because some prior lifeforms joined in endosymbiosis.

I would call it evolutions “half-assed attempt” at endosymbiosis.

“Endosymbiosis” always seemed so …eukaryocentric.

Endosymbiosis resulted from some of these engulfed cells not being digested.

Endosymbiosis is a very plausible such filter.
