More about the book
Focusing on a pivotal moment in evolution, the book explores the origins of cell signaling that marked the beginning of multicellularity. By examining cellular slime molds, which are simple and easy to cultivate, the author seeks to shed light on the fundamental principles of development that have evolved over millions of years. This approach aims to reconnect contemporary molecular insights with the basic mechanisms that underpin early multicellular development, providing a clearer understanding of the evolutionary timeline.
