[Marxism] Anthro 101 and Apes and Monkeys




In the below , I meant to say the _one-celled_ organism takes in
proportionally more "poison" than the two-celled organism.

The one-celled organism has more surface area per volume as compared with
the two-celled, as you demonstrated. Your point, I believe , is that this is
an advantage for the one-celled organism over the two-celled organism.

I was suggesting that there might be a way in which _less_ surface area per
volume might be a relative advantage somehow, and thus relative advantage to
the two-celled , rather than one-celled organism.

I think I got it straight this time

Thanks for your discussion, Comrade.

Just a thought. Could it be that in a certain environment allowing less in (
being more "selective" in what the 2-celled organism lets in) could be an
advantage, instead of a disadvantage, compared to the one-celled organism ?
Maybe the 2-celled organism took in more "poison".
