About the Book

This text aims to fill a gap in the evolution of living things. In the late-20th century there has been increasing interest in the astronomical and physico-chemical problems to do with the events which determined the appearance of the first cell. For almost two centuries the evolution of present-day and past species has given rise to a great many investigations and much discussion. Moreover in the last few years important contributions have come from the discoveries about their DNA.

Table of Contents:
1 Introduction.- 2 The First Cell.- 2.1 Properties attributed to the first cell: reproduction.- 2.2 Properties other than reproduction.- 2.3 Derivation of the first cell from a precellular aggregate.- 2.4 There are many kinds of putative aggregates.- 2.5 A detailed hypothesis on the formation of the first cell.- 2.6 Properties attributed to modern cells.- 2.7 Temporal frame.- 3 Modern Cells: Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Descents.- 3.1 The general pattern of descent lineages remains controversial.- 3.2 Descent is traditionally inferred from morphological comparison.- 3.3 Descent inferred from gene sequences is not truly universal.- 3.4 The possible origin of a protein complex.- 3.5 What was the cellular organization of the common ancestor?.- 3.6 Major evolutionary transitions.- 4 Prokaryotes: The Flagellum.- 4.1 The bacterial flagellum is a complex structure.- 4.2 Complex structures appear only once.- 4.3 From what did the flagellum derive?.- 4.4 Possible derivation series.- 5 Prokaryotes: The Outer Membrane.- 5.1 The outer membrane is also a complex structure.- 5.2 Was the outer membrane an alimentary adaptation?.- 5.3 Did the outer membrane appear in a flagellated bacterium?.- 5.4 The role of interspecific gene transfers.- 6 Prokaryotes: Trends towards Complexity.- 6.1 Cell differentiation.- 6.2 Multicellularity.- 6.3 Particles which escaped from cells.- 7 The Appearance of the Nucleus.- 7.1 Eukaryotes are defined by the nucleus.- 7.2 The nucleus requires an intracellular skeleton.- 7.3 Did the nucleus appear inside an indeterminate cell?.- 7.4 Did the nucleus appear inside a bacterium?.- 7.5 Did the nucleus derive from an intracellular bacterium?.- 7.6 The origin of nuclear linear chromosomes.- 8 Eukaryotes: Dictyosomes.- 8.1 From what did dictyosomes derive?.- 8.2 Progress in membrane traffic.- 8.3 Did some vesicles derive from intracellular symbiosis?.- 9 Eukaryotes: The Mitochondrial Symbiosis.- 9.1 Mitochondria are bacteria adapted to intracellular life.- 9.2 Primitive engulfment and origin of mitochondria.- 9.3 Alternative hypotheses on the origin of mitochondria.- 9.4 Have Eukaryotes without mitochondria always been so?.- 10 Eukaryotes: Plastidial Symbioses.- 10.1 Plastids are also bacteria adapted to intracellular life.- 10.2 Intermediate adaptations on the way to plastidial symbioses.- 10.3 Parallel symbioses.- 10.4 Serial symbioses.- 10.5 Plastidial regressions.- 11 Eukaryotes: The Cilium.- 11.1 A surprising and complicated geometry.- 11.2 Ideas to explain the geometry of the cilium.- 11.3 Did the cilium derive from a specialization of the intracellular skeleton?.- 11.4 Did the cilium derive from extracellular symbiosis with a Spirochete?.- 11.5 Before and after the appearance of the cilium.- 12 Eukaryotes: Complexity and Gigantism.- 12.1 The fixation of sex.- 12.2 Cell differentiations.- 12.3 Multicellularity.- 13 Conclusions.- Acknowledgements.- References.
