George: This may be of interest: > > "Scientists solve major piece in the origin of biological complexity" > > http://www.geneticarchaeology.com/research/Scientists_solve_major_piece_in_the_origin_o... > > "In this experiment we've reordered one of the first steps in the origin of multicellularity, showing that two key evolutionary steps can occur far faster than previously anticipated."-Again, thank you for a most interesting entry. I was aware of the yeast multicellular study. As usual my analysis is that this was accomplished by human intelligence in a lab. We can only accept it as productive as it represents a possibility of the way simple multicellularity appeared. And with the standard comment: if bacteria are so successful, why bother with multicellularity?
