LATE INNOVATION. “We address eukaryogenesis from four perspectives — molecular phylogenetics, palaeontology, bioenergetics, and modern cell biology and biochemistry — each of which has contributed important and surprisingly congruent insights relating to this argument. It is the consilience of these lines of evidence that leads us to conclude that eukaryotes are not a primary lineage of life; rather, they are a relatively late innovation.”
