The first organisms on Earth were presumably unicellular. At one point, evolution shaped these individual cells into multicellular organisms, which was a significant transition in the history of life on Earth. To investigate how this change happened, Bozdag et al. re-ran evolution in the lab and observed how single-celled yeast forms large multicellular aggregates.
地球上最初的生物可能是单细胞生物。在某个时候，进化将这些单个细胞塑造成多细胞生物，这是地球生命史上的一个重大转变。为了研究这种变化是如何发生的，Bozdag 等人在实验室中重新进行了进化实验，并观察了单细胞酵母如何形成大型多细胞聚集体。
