The origin of the eukaryotes is a fundamental scientific question that for over
30 years has generated a spirited debate between the competing Archaea (or three
domains) tree and the eocyte tree. As eukaryotes ourselves, humans have a
personal interest in our origins. Eukaryotes contain their defining organelle,
the nucleus, after which they are named. They have a complex evolutionary
history, over time acquiring multiple organelles, including mitochondria,
chloroplasts, smooth and rough endoplasmic reticula, and other organelles all of
which may hint at their origins. It is the evolutionary history of the nucleus
and their other organelles that have intrigued molecular evolutionists, myself
included, for the past 30 years and which continues to hold our interest as
increasingly compelling evidence favours the eocyte tree. As with any orthodoxy,
it takes time to embrace new concepts and techniques.
