The Strangers Within: Lynn Margulis and the Rebirth of Endosymbiosis In 1966, Margulis wrote up a paper, "On the Origin of Mitoting Cells," which sought to combine the old idea of symbiogenesis with new insights into the structure and genetics of unicellular organisms It was turned down fifteen times before it was finally accepted by a theoretical biology journal
Lynn Margulis - Wikipedia Lynn Margulis (born Lynn Petra Alexander; March 5, 1938 – November 22, 2011) was an American evolutionary biologist, and was the primary modern proponent for the significance of symbiosis in evolution
Lynn Margulis and the endosymbiont hypothesis: 50 years later In her article, not only did Margulis champion an endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria and plastids from bacterial ancestors, but she also posited that the eukaryotic flagellum (undulipodium in her usage) and mitotic apparatus originated from an endosymbiotic, spirochete-like organism
Lynn Margulis (1938–2011) | Science Lynn Margulis, who died on 22 November 2011 at the age of 73, was a striking example of the latter group She is responsible for the transformative idea that eukaryotic cells evolved by the acquisition and exploitation of other, smaller cells, a process known as endosymbiosis
Lynn Margulis: Intimacy Of Strangers Natural Selection Lynn Margulis told me that when she wrote her book Symbiosis in Cell Evolution: Microbial Communities in the Archean and Proterozoic Eons she was entirely ignorant of the Russian work of Boris
Lynn Margulis (1938–2011) - Nature Lynn Margulis was an independent, gifted and spirited biologist who learned as early as the fourth grade to “tell bullshit from real authentic experience”, as she put it in a 2004 interview
Intimacy of Strangers - Linda Boļšakova The core of Margulis’ view of life is that new kind of cell, tissue, organ and species evolve primarily through the long-lasting intimacy of strangers One such example of the intimacy of strangers is the orchid and pollinator relationships
On the origin of mitosing cells: A historical appraisal of Lynn . . . Although for a long-time symbiosis was considered to be quite rare and with no role in evolutionary processes, Lynn Margulis demonstrated that endosymbiotic events played a key role in the origin and evolution of eukaryotic cells
Lynn Margulis and the endosymbiont hypothesis: 50 years later The 1967 article “On the Origin of Mitosing Cells” in the Journal of Theoretical Biology by Lynn Margulis (then Lynn Sagan) is widely regarded as stimulating renewed interest in the long-dormant endosymbiont hypothesis of organelle origins
