#eukaryotic cells and the proto-ancient Halls Of #Asgard and #FirstContact

*The Conversation* has an interesting read about how #Stromatolites may demonstrate a mechanism for the evolution of Eucaryotic cells like those that make up you or possibly me.[1][2]

The First Contact is actually literal.
Perhaps it's "First" and perhaps that's just __enthusiastic titling__ :)

#Evolution is a thing.
So are Stromatolites::

"" Nerearchaeum marumarumayae. The species name – marumarumayae – is derived from the Aboriginal language of the Malgana people, meaning “ancient home”, a reference to stromatolites being of ancient origin in Earth’s history. ""

[2] I checked Tea and Chilli are Eucaryotic so ... Me too.

A short reflection on Rupert Sheldrake’s idea that #evolution may be driven by #habits rather than by immutable mechanisms enshrined in #natural #law.

An early detractor invoked the reasoning of the Pope who criticised Galileo as a heretic ~ failing to see the irony. The blind pride of these detractors leaves me assuming they are having a trauma response.
