Intelligent Bacteria? When Dr. Lynn Margulis's 1969 paper on endosymbiosis was rejected by over a dozen scientific journals (because no one knew how to evaluate it)and criticized by Richard Dawkins, she stubbornly refused to stand down. But Margulis was vindicated and Dawkins retracted his objection. Endosymbiosis explains how a parasite and host can eventually evolve symbiotically (e.g., mitochondria)into something better: evolution through cooperation.
