In the primeval Earth, single-celled creatures joined up to become multicelled ones, surrendering independence in exchange for collective power. ❋ Michael Chorost (2011)
Directing thoughts at a target seemed capable of altering machines, cells, and, indeed, entire multicelled organisms like human beings. ❋ Joseph Pierce Farrell (2011)
When single-celled organisms come together in a multicelled one they become more specialized, not less. ❋ Michael Chorost (2011)
Six months later, Borgonie, Onstott and their colleagues produced a paper describing, for the first time, the presence of multicelled organisms as many as 2.5 miles below Earth's surface. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Then suddenly, about 600 million years ago, the first multicelled excreters arrived, laying the chemical foundation for one of the most spectacular bursts of evolution in the history of the planet. ❋ Jonathan Watts (2010)
Over the days of traveling, we had developed an easygoing multicelled way of moving: if someone wanted to stop and pee, or eat, or get an ice cream, or rest, or drive, or look inside a church, the van nudged over and everyone was game, everyone participated with an easy willingness to shift gears. ❋ Peter Heller (2010)
_ "Metazoans," as I mentioned, are multicelled living things, and if you take the geologic record at face value, making a bunch of cells work together as a single organism is a much harder problem than was even making the first living cell. ❋ Unknown (2010)
They include all metazoans (multicelled life forms: plants, animals, and fungi), as well as protozoans like amebas and all algae (except the blue-green "algae" I mention below). ❋ Unknown (2010)
Sola, how do we know that Gailbraith is not right—that we are defending our little, limited lives against the great multicelled experiment in evolution? ❋ SONDRA MARSHAK (2009)
It was that first little multicelled blob which finally climbed out on land, and up to stars. ❋ SONDRA MARSHAK (2009)
Captain, the first multicelled animals must have absorbed a great many amoeba—curtailed their freedom, violated their individual amoeba rights. ❋ SONDRA MARSHAK (2009)
Could an amoeba understand the simplest multicelled animal? ❋ SONDRA MARSHAK (2009)
What force do you suppose welded together the first successful multicelled animal, Doctor? ❋ SONDRA MARSHAK (2009)
At its beginning, multicelled animals underwent a dramatic "explosion" in diversity, and almost all living animal phyla appeared within a few millions of years. ❋ Unknown (2009)
They were a foot from the edge of the ledge, and McCoy knew that he was no match for the man, let alone for the multicelled entity Soljenov actually was. ❋ SONDRA MARSHAK (2009)
