Experimental evolution of multicellularity
... The evolution of multicellularity is a two-step process. First, clusters of cells must evolve from singlecelled ancestors. In nature, this may be due to predation (predators can eat single cells, but not clusters), or benefits clusters gain over isolated cells (e.g., UV resistance, metabolic efficie ...
