Abstract
- For eukaryotes to evolve, evolutionary conflicts had to be mediated.
- Mechanisms of conflict mediation such as gene loss were not initially available.
- Cell signaling pathways could be co-opted from prokaryotes.
- Arising by accident and co-option, calcium signaling allowed eukaryotes to emerge.
