What is Symbiogenesis: A New Principle of Evolution: Translated by Victor Fet about?

"The differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are much more deep and fundamental than, for example, those between higher animals and higher plants. Numerous facts, especially those from cytology of simplest eukaryotic organisms, support the views of Kozo-Polyansky-Margulis. The eukaryotic cell, compared to a prokaryotic cell, is already rather some sort of 'supercell.' A specific 'assembly' of a complex eukaryotic system from already largely 'prefabricated parts' took place during the process of evolution."--Armen Takhtajan, Komarov Botanical Institute, Russian Academy of Sceneces"--"How could this book not have been a part of evolutionary biology since its publication in 1924? ... What a difference it would have in the 'evolutionary synthesis' if this book were easily in the hands of biologists in German or English translation!"--William Provine, Cornell University" "More than eighty years ago, before we knew much about the structure of cells, Russian botanist Boris Kozo-Polyansky brilliantly outlined the concept of symbiogenesis, the symbiotic origin of cells with nuclei. It was a half-century later, only when experimental approaches that Kozo-Polyansky lacked were applied
