+As soon as more-or-less faithful replication has evolved, then natural
+selection begins to work. To say this is not to invoke some magic principle,
+some {\it deus ex machina}; natural selection in this sense is a logical
necessity,
+not a theory waiting to be proved. It is inevitable that those cells more
+efficient at capturing and using energy, and of replicating more faithfully,
+would survive and their progeny spread; those less efficient would tend to die
+out, their contents re-absorbed and used by others. Two great evolutionary
+processes occur simultaneously. The one, beloved by many popular science
+writers, is about competition, the struggle for existence between rivals.
+Darwin begins here, and orthodox Darwinians tend both to begin and end here.
+But the second process, less often discussed today, perhaps because less in
+accord with the spirit of the times, is about co-operation, the teaming up of
+cells with particular specialisms to work together. For example, one type of
+cell may evolve a set of enzymes enabling it to metabolise molecules produced
+as waste material by another.There are many such examples of symbiosis in
+today’s multitudinous world. Think, amongst the most obvious, of the complex
+relationships we have with the myriad bacteria -- largely Escherichia coli --
+that inhabit our own guts, and without whose co-operation in our digestive
+processes we would be unable to survive. In extreme cases, cells with
+different specific specialisms may even merge to form a single organism
+combining both, a process called symbiogenesis.
+Symbiogenesis is now believed to have been the origin of mitochondria,
+the energy-converting structures present in all of today’s cells, as well
+as the photosynthesising chloroplasts present in green plants.
