WE RETURN to the bold attempt to revise our pear-shaped view of the natural world, which has been cast with a chordate-centric viewpoint, oblivious of the much larger and, until recently, unseen, prokaryotic universe. The prokaryotic universe is the greatest source of global biodiversity, and it is neither based on the individual nor the species. All very confounding for our earnest and bespectacled colleagues in gumboots.
