If it weren't for mitochondria, scientists argue, we'd all still be single-celled bacteria. Indeed, these tiny structures inside our cells are important beyond imagining. This book is about how mitochondria are so much more than just “the powerhouse of the cell”. How they arose in the first place, the evolution of multicellularity, the evolution of sex as a means for reproduction, and the role of mitochondria in programmed cell suicide and ageing are included in the topics tackled. Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life is a popular science book by Nick Lane of University College London, which argues that mitochondria are central to questions of the evolution of multicellularity, the evolution of sexual reproduction, and to the process of senescence. Amongst the theories advanced in the book, Lane endorses the hydrogen hypothesis for the formation of the eukaryotic cell, whereby mitochondria are the original defining characteristic of the.
