Dear Reader,

 

The genesis of eukaryotic – nucleated – living cells, only known to science to have occurred on planet Earth so far, but seen by many scientists as increasingly likely to be an ubiquitous, cosmological phenomenon, is a classic specific case of the general – and dialectical – process of the ‘self-«aufheben» meta-unit-ization’ combination of predecessor ‘self-hybrid’ units to form their immediate successor ‘self-hybrid’ [meta-]units, the process that forms the recurring, self-similar, but also ever-new core of ‘the dialectic [singular] of nature’, and of its ‘quanto-qualo-fractal meta-genealogies’.

The best extant evidence points to the genesis of eukaryote units from combinatory interactions of prokaryote units.

 

Eukaryote units are typically 10,000 times larger in volume than prokaryote units.

 

The anerobic “archaea” prokaryotic sub-kind seems to have often sustained a predatory relationship with the other main prokaryotic sub-kind, the bacteria.  With expanded self-reproduction, and spatial self-densification self-concentration of both sub-kinds of prokaryote units, reflecting the Darwinian fitness and success of these prokaryote units in certain zones of the early Earth, encounters between archaea and bacteria would have become more frequent.

 

Some of those encounters appear to have resulted in ingestion with aborted or arrested digestion of aerobic bacteria units engulfed into the inside of anaerobic archaea units – potentiating a transition from predation to symbiosis.

 

That is, some of such combinations of archaea and bacteria resulted in an “endosymbiosis” between the two – a symbiogenesis of eukaryotic units, in which the aerobic bacteria, able to produce cellular ATP bio-energy via Oxygen respiratory metabolism, became the mitochondria, the membraned internal organelles that characterize and power eukaryotic cells, which also have their genetic material protected in a membraned cell nucleus, unlike the prokaryotes. 

 

From such combinations of archaeal and bacterial, prokaryotic units, “animal” and “fungal” eukaryotic cells are theorized to have arisen.  Their mitochondria still retain vestiges of their own, bacteria-like DNA, inside eukaryotic living cell units, to this day.

 

There are typically up to several thousand mitochondria inside, and powering the livelihood of, free-living eukaryotic cell units, i.e., that are not incorporated into “multi-[eukaryotic ]cellular organisms.

 

Later such ‘ingestion with arrested digestion’ events, between such archaea-bacteria combinations/symbioses that had already developed into ‘mitochondria-based’ “animal” eukaryotic cell units – ingestions internalizing CO₂ and sunlight “eating”, and O₂ releasing, photosynthesizing “cyanobacteria” – resulted in the first eukaryotic green “plant” cells, the internalized cyanobacteria eventually becoming the “chloroplasts” that populate eukaryotic plant cells, together with mitochondria as well, today.  

Such “plant” eukaryote-unit membraned chloroplast organelles also still retain vestiges of their bacteria-like DNA today. 

 

Typical free-living green plant cell eukaryotes have up to a hundred or more of chloroplasts inside each.

 

Thus, both today’s O₂-respirating “animal” eukaryotic living cell units, and, later, today’s both O₂-respirating and CO₂-eating, photosynthesizing “plant” eukaryotic living cell units, originated in mutually-induced combinations of, much smaller and much simpler, prokaryotic living cells units.

 

Each eukaryotic cell unit is a ‘self-«aufheben» meta-unit’ produced by self-induced combinations of multiple prokaryotic cell units.

 

Eukaryote units are made up out of multiple prokaryote units.

 

Fossil evidence indicates that populations of prokaryotic living cell units arose on Earth around 3.5 billion years ago. 

 

Populations of eukaryotic living cell units’ oldest fossils found so far date back to around 1.7 billion years ago, about 1.8 billion years later.
