Eukaryogenesis, how special really?

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 18 Aug 2015

Booth Austin, Doolittle W Ford

Abstract excerpt

Eukaryogenesis is widely viewed as an improbable evolutionary transition uniquely affecting the evolution of life on this planet. However, scientific and popular rhetoric extolling this event as a singularity lacks rigorous evidential and statistical support. Here, we question several of the usua...
