On the evolution of cells · Swarm Ecology

Carl Woese's paper on the evolution of cells. The companion cites his argument that early cellular life evolved communally, sharing innovations freely, until lineages settled into mostly vertical descent. Noogenetic lineages may go the other way, into genealogies that look like clouds (Fig. 6a), under omnidirectional heredity (P5).
