It is different to say complex cells arose only once and only one lineage of complex cells survived. It may be that once in a great while these symbiotic events occurred, but once it successfully occurred once, that all subsequent attempts failed because the created ecological niches were filled.

Nobody was there, no fossils exist, and no similar process is happening now. But since mitochondria have the same size, shape and membrane construction as bacteria...It's as good a theory as any.

on the question why bacteria only formed eukaryotes once is simple: competition. microbal eukaryotes exist and bacteria can't compete with them on a multicellar level in the ecosystem; the roles in microbal societies have become fixed. further more there's probably a high level of co-operations among them; symbiosis. When society works together they can conquer the world

[@rl7012]

That does not answer the question at all. How did eukaryotes first form is the question. Saying 'competition' caused them to exist is a ridiculous answer. If eukaryotes don't exist, then how can completion bring them into existence? Can competition bring dragons into existence too then? Wake up will you.

"If it could be proved that any part of the structure of any one species had been formed for the exclusive good of another species, it would annihilate my theory, for such could not have been produced through natural selection" (The Origin of Species, 1859, Masterpieces of Science edition, 1958, p. 164). Symbiosis... The last nail on the coffin... The annihilation of The Theory of Evolution... More like The Hypothesis of Evolution... The tittle of the video is misleading, he picked a well thought bait... He used the word... Origin... You see, the study of the Origin of Life (Ool) is another field by itself, he mixed adaptation with origins, and that's misleading, you can't adapt a language to another one if first you don't have the building blocks in the first place and some basic rules, like developing an alphabet, then some grammar rules for sintax to create sense an order, then you can translate into another language, etc. Some degree of adaptation among intraspecies is a whole different universe than saying transpeciation by natural selection.

In the transition from low entropy universe to a high entropy universe, life is an efficient adventure probably inevitable #catalyst which accelerates that process. (Speaking metaphorically).

[@johnschlottman619]

That's doubtful / dependent on scale. Evolution takes place in an environment of inconsistent pressure 'to use less energy', in effect 'stating' outright 'Okay, here's a ton of extra energy: use it, waste it, let's see what you can do with it'. My God every presentation ever on the subject always includes mentioning gobs and gobs of ways that 'organisms' of all kinds come about, various coming up with 'their own' means of making a living, that survive - meaning essentially each strain is another quasi-experiment: and most definitely not all masters at 'energy savings', not by any means... so by default 'evolving in' something else. 'Energy-expensive pseudo-experimentation plus alpha' is going on. That 'plus alpha' led to us multi-cellulars. The 'reduction in genes' need have little to do with 'become more energy efficient'; I get the feeling the real pressure on the genes is more like 'if the useless data crap goes away, I get by just fine', and I suspect something else in there - maybe the interactions between the 'mitochondria' and the original host? In any case it all just had to happen in ONE lineage, in ONE eukaryote - to explain ALL CURRENT eukaryote - i.e. eukayotes themselves all tracing back to one bottleneck / common ancestor. Maybe the 'large host' somehow 'predated out / leached out / starved out' all the superfluous genes.... I wonder. It's arrarent to me that it's NOT an 'energy use' issue, perhaps a 'data + alpha' issue, or something else. What do you think? All this 'life evolves to save energy' hot wind seems to me no more than a long-time, popular fad of lazy thinking among science students; mostly NOT a logic-based explanation of evolution reality. I have spoken 😁
