Scientists identify rare evolutionary intermediates to understand the origin of eukaryotes

A new study provides a key insight into a milestone event in the early evolution of life on Earth — the origin of the cell nucleus and complex cells. Scientists peered deep inside current living cells, known as Archaea – the organisms that are believed to most closely resemble the ancient intermediates between bacteria and the more complex cells that we now know as eukaryotic cells.
