Among the most important innovations in the history of life is the
transition from single-celled organisms to more complex,
multicellular organisms. Multicellularity has evolved repeatedly
across the tree of life, resulting in the evolution of new kinds of
organisms that collectively constitute a significant portion of
Earth's biodiversity and have transformed the biosphere. This
volume examines the origins and subsequent evolution of
multicellularity, reviewing the types of multicellular groups that
exist, their evolutionary relationships, the processes that led to
their evolution, and the conceptual frameworks in which their
evolution is understood. This important volume is intended to serve
as a jumping-off point, stimulating further research by summarizing
the topics that students and researchers of the evolution of
multicellularity should be familiar with, and highlighting future
research directions for the field.
