COMMONALITY ENSURED. “Unicellular bottlenecks are present in distantly related multicellular lineages, and appear to be a critical step in the evolution of multicellular complexity. The unicellular bottleneck limits genetic diversity, and hence genetic conflict, among the cells of extant multicellular organisms, and ensures that all cells constituting a multicellular individual share a common developmental history and environment.”
