She hardly needs an introduction: in the late 1960s, she pioneered and forcefully pushed the symbiogenetic theory of the eukaryotic cell (Sagan 1967; Margulis 1970), revolutionary at that time, but today confirmed by an overwhelming mass of researches and data, renewed and deepened at the molecular level in the genomic era (Margulis & Sagan 2003). Eukaryotes have originated by repeated symbiogenesis, the most famous of which is the incorporation of former free-living bacteria (Lane & Martin 2010). Details of the sequence and mechanisms of the Serial Endosymbiosis Theory (SET) are still today an exciting field of research (for example, Sassera et al. 2011). Margulis is unanimously seen as the scientist who opened this new field of research.

Gontier 2007, O’Malley 2010). Second editor of Chimeras and Consciousness is Celeste A. Asikainen, a young geologist, student in geosciences at Lynn’s same institution: the University of
