UNPROTECTED GENOMES. “The enforced stability of genomic content in multi-cellular eukaryotes is necessary for maintaining a non-pathological multi-cellular, differentiated condition. Curiously, this critical attribute is not on any of the lists of essential eukaryotic pre-adaptations necessary for the evolution of multi-cellularity. This absence may be a result of the pervasive multi-cellular eukaryotes-centricity of much classical biology thinking.”
