The
2002 Romer Lecture
Lynn
Margulis
University
of Massachusetts at Amherst
"On
the Origin of Species:
The Inheritance of Acquired Bacteria"
One hundred forty
years after the publication of Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of
Species,
major issues remain unsolved:
Lynn Margulis believes that symbiogenesis, an evolutionary consequence of symbiosis,
is a major factor. Dr. Margulis will discuss the old problems of the origin
of evolutionary change and show how genome acquisition and community analysis
propel us toward a new Gaian view of life. Life, after all, is a planetary
phenomenon, and Gaia may be understood as symbiosis as seen from space.
Friday, April 19, 2002, 8:00 p.m. Hepburn Auditorium
