Description Boris Mikhaylovich Kozo-Polyansky, "Symbiogenesis: A New Principle of Evolution" Harvard University Press | 2010 | ISBN: 0674050452 | 240 pages | PDF | 3,6 MB 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 to his hypotheses, that scientists began to accept his view that symbiogenesis could be united with Darwin's concept of natural selection to explain the evolution of life. Kozo-Polyansky's seminal work is presented here for the first time in an outstanding annotated translation, updated with commentaries, references, and modern micrographs of symbiotic phenomena.

"Symbiogenesis", a term first coined by the Russian botanist K.S. Merezhkovsky in the late 19th century, is the evolution of new life forms, from the physical union of different, once-independent partners. In this book Liya Khakhina traces the development of the concept in Russian and Soviety scientific literature, reviewing the contributions of Merezhkovsky, A.S.
Famintsyn, B.M. Kozo-Polyansky and other prominent Russian scientists, to theories of symbiosis in evolution. This book provides further information to English-speaking scientists on the history of the early development of symbiosis theory. The editors have written an introduction to Khakhina's book (published in the Soviet Union in 1979) and have also included an appendix by Donna Mehos about the American anatomist Ivan E.

I got this book mainly to use as a comparison for another book I'm reading, Nei's _Mutation-Driven Evolution_. Koonin's _The Logic of Chance_ also falls in the category of recent books by seasoned researchers whose primary focus is molecular, and who argue that we ought to rethink evolution based on findings of molecular biology or molecular evolution.
The 5-word summaries of these books are:* Engineering, not accident, provides innovation (Shapiro)* Mutation, not selection, drives evolution (Nei)* After Darwinism, things get complicated (Koonin) In the case of Koonin, you have to read the whole book to understand what he means. If you are not familiar with the past 10-20 years of findings from comparative genomics, then it will be educational, and regardless of your familiarity with genomics, it will be entertaining and thought-provoking.
Shapiro is right about this part. Some kinds of mutations can be seen as accidents, like when a polymerase accidentally inserts a T instead of a C. Evolution: A View from the 21st Century - James Shapiro (PDF) James A. Shapiro's proposes an important new paradigm for understanding biological evolution, the core organizing principle of biology. Shapiro introduces crucial new molecular evidence that tests the conventional scientific view of evolution based on the neo-Darwinian synthesis, and shows why this view is inadequate to today's evidence.
He then presents a compelling alternative view of the evolutionary process that reflects the shift in life sciences towards a more information- and systems-based approach. Shapiro integrates advances in symbiogenesis, epigenetics, and saltationism into a unified approach that views evolutionary change as an active cell process, regulated epigenetically and capable of making rapid large changes by horizontal DNA transfer, inter-specific hybridization, whole genome doubling, symbiogenesis, or massive genome restructuring.
