An afterthought about survivability as a factor in evolution:-Again starting with bacteria, they are here easily permanently. On the other hand once multicellularity appears, species come and go as complexity advances by the process of evolution. That means that multicellularity as a condition of living requires much more involved adaptability, i.e., large complex phenotypic alterations when survival is challenged. If that statement is accepted, what evolution does really show is what is required for survivability , i.e., punctuated equilibrium, the huge gaps in speciation. My conclusion from this viewpoint is that multicellularity's complexity drives the organisms to evolve more complexity until there is a perfect solution to the problem, H. sapiens. We have the mental prowess to solve problems without requiring phenotypic changes. All stated in my first book.
