520 _a"Written in accessible language and complemented by a glossary for easy reference, this book investigates one of the most fundamental and divisive problems in biology: the origin of cells. Assuming only a basic knowledge of cell biology, Franklin M. Harold examines such pivotal subjects as the relationship between cells and genes; the central role of bioenergetics in the origin of life; the status of the universal tree of life with its three stems and viral outliers; and the controversies surrounding the last universal common ancestor. He also delves deeply into the evolution of cellular organization, the origin of complex cells, and the incorporation of symbiotic organelles, and considers the fossil evidence for the earliest life on earth. In Search of Cell History shows us just how far we have come in understanding cell evolution - and the evolution of life in general - and how far we still have to go."--Back cover.
