Symbiogenesis

Level 1 – Surface Web
CONSPIRACY

Lyn Margulis (exwife of Carl Sagan and notoriously pessimistic microbiologist) observed that in microorganisms there were indefinite boundaires between individuals with many working together as whole organisms (such as the human body). So instead of the imminent “moment of creation” or “point of origin” searched for by scientists for so long under the axiom of abiogenesis, she argued that life may have had multiple originary supplemements, and that the search for origins was ultimately misguided. Instead it is more effective (and accurate) to think of networks of organism activity rather than separate entities determined by scale, which she called holobionts. Today this is actually entering the mainstream of biology, though it retains it’s radical affiliation through authors like Donna Haraway, whose work problematizes modern political ideas of selfhood autonomy and consent through the lens of Margulis.
