Abstract

It is quite evident from the fossil record that prokaryotic cells were the first cell type evolved. After a long interval of nearly two billion years eukaryotic cells appeared. There is little doubt that this cell type arose from the bacterial cell. How this occurred has been the subject of much speculation. In this chapter we will present evidence that supports the idea that the eukaryotic cell arose by slow gradual change in a prokaryotic cell. This process of arriving at the eukaryotic cell has been termed the ‘Autogenous Theory’ (Klein and Cronquist 1967; Klein 1970; Cavalier-Smith, 1975; Taylor 1976).
