> dhw: Once cells had merged to create multicellularity, there had to be cooperation between them, and clearly that means all the cell communities that constitute the whole organism must integrate their many mechanisms. Once again we are in agreement.-Not completely. I won't let you go back to cells integrating on their own. They are controlled by the genome of the multicellular organism and it manages their integration. Yes, each cell has genes, tailored for that cell, but there has to be central control with a centrally controlling genome.
