About the Book
This book is under work or have been released in this series:
1. Evolution by trial and error, or opportunistic evolution by protection and cooperation
These books are also under preparation:
3. Origins and evolution of life with the Organelle Escape Theory
4. Evolution of atmosphere and conditions with the Organelle Escape Theory
In this book i show that eukaryotes are older than bacteria. Further I show that eukaryotes created bacteria as a by-product of creating organelles. That means not only symbiogenesis is a misconception, as explained in book 2, but also endosymbiosis, at least as a mechanism of evolution. When bacteria are accepted as organelles, then it is just because they were initially organelles.
About the Author
I am a Norwegian electronics engineer with special interest in biology and particularly evolution and the origin of life. My work with communication technology and software has given me a background that is useful for better understanding the processes behind evolution. I am very skeptical of nature, and I do not take anything for granted just because it is written in textbooks.
