Endosymbiotic theory kind of suggests all multicellular life evolved from amoebas farming bacteria.

The mitochondria in all our body's cells (and plastids in plant cells) have their own DNA which propagates separately from the rest of the DNA. You get all your mitochondrial DNA entirely from your mother's egg, which is the same as the mitochondria that came from your grandmother, and your great grandmother...

From the link above:
* New mitochondria and plastids are formed only through a process similar to binary fission. In some algae, such as Euglena, the plastids can be destroyed by certain chemicals or prolonged absence of light without otherwise affecting the cell. In such a case, the plastids will not regenerate.
* They are surrounded by two or more membranes, and the innermost of these shows differences in composition from the other membranes of the cell. The composition is like that of a bacterial cell membrane.
* Both mitochondria and plastids contain DNA that is different from that of the cell nucleus and that is similar to that of bacteria (in being circular in shape and in its size).
* DNA sequence analysis and phylogenetic estimates suggest that nuclear DNA contains genes that probably came from plastids.
* These organelles' ribosomes are like those found in bacteria (70S).
* Mitochondria and plastids are similar in size to bacteria.

Of course, seeing as how Eve came from Adam's rib, all of this is just evidence that God designed the bacteria first (Genesis 1:25-27) and likes recycling his ideas.

studentgrant75: Subby: what you got against NYers?

I've worked with Manhattanites since the early 80's. Isn't that enough?
/and they don't farm

Bagelox-99: The trouble with Manhattanites is they don't farm on principle.

heh. but then again, there really are a good deal of community veggie gardens in the five boroughs including Manhattan.
