Margulis, Lynn (1938 – actualidad)

born in 1938 in the city of Boston. He began his secondary education at a public high school, but moved by their parents to the elite School Laboratory of the University of Chicago. Later, on his own, returned to school with his old friends, the place she thought she belonged.
At age 16 are accepted into the program developed at the University of Chicago where he majored in biology 4 years later, becoming, according to her, a title, a husband and a critical skepticism.
In 1958, he continued his training at the University of Wisconsin and a master's student and assistant professor. Studying cell biology and genetics (genetic general and population genetics.) In one of his teachers say, "It changed my life. When I left the University of Chicago knew I wanted to study genetics, but after classes Crow knew I only wanted to study genetics.
Since initially attracted to the world of bacteria, which at that time, she indicated that they were considered only in terms of pathogenic germs and uninteresting character in the field of evolution. Margulis investigated ignored and forgotten works to support his first intuition about the importance of the microbial world in evolution. Based on these and other studies, in which raised the hypothesis that non-nucleated parts (mitochondria and chloroplasts) of eukaryotic cells evolved from other forms were free-living bacteria, focused on developing the hypothesis that led to formulate his theory of serial endosymbiosis , and later his vision of the role of symbiogenesis in evolution.
endosymbiotic theory proposes that eukaryotic cells originated from a primitive cell, which at one time or other cells encompass prokaryotic organisms, establishing a relationship between endosymbiosis. Prokaryotic cells would be the precursor of peroxisomes (ability to remove toxic substances), the mitochondria (from aerobic bacteria) and chloroplasts (ancient photosynthetic bacteria). Later describe step by step and with specificity the origin of eukaryotic cells with KV Schwartz classify life on earth into five kingdoms grouped into two levels: bacteria and eukaryotes.
currently working on the possible origin of cilia and the spirochetes.
