The origin of cells remains one of the most fundamental problems in
biology, one that over the past two decades has spawned a large
body of research and debate. With "In Search of Cell History,"
Franklin M. Harold offers a comprehensive, impartial take on that
research and the controversies that keep the field in turmoil.
Written in accessible language and complemented by a glossary for
easy reference, this book investigates the full scope of cellular
history. Assuming only a basic knowledge of cell biology, 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.
