Symbiosis has been accepted recently as a valuable hypothesis to explain the emergence and transformation of species in our evolutionary history. Historian of science Jan Sapp qualifies it as a “quiet revolution in our understanding of ourselves” and “the very root of our being”. Symbiosis suggest that changes in living bodies is not only due to the accumulation of gene mutations, but that our very eukaryotic cells originates in the merge of different prokaryotic organisms. Symbiosis as a source of evolutionary novelty has long been fought against by defendants of a strict interpretation of Darwinism and natural selection as the only factor explaining the emergence of species. This tendency was revived with the emergence and domination of neo-darwinist hypothesis in the wake of molecular biology.
Exit, Moon
By Maya Indira Ganesh
"Some people had the option of leaving. Those people who don’t have to take care of anyone else, or anything else. Who feel like they can sever their connections and move on to the next thing. Some times this is survival. Some times it is escape, it is exit."
