Lynn Margulis
Lynn Margulis (1938-2011) was an influential American biologist known for her groundbreaking work in the field of symbiotic theory, which posits that cooperation between organisms is a driving force in evolution. A passionate advocate for the importance of microbial life and the role of symbiosis in the development of complex organisms, Margulis challenged conventional scientific perspectives and often faced criticism for her unorthodox views. Her legacy continues to inspire scientists and filmmakers alike, as exemplified by John Feldman's recent cinematic tribute to her life and contributions to understanding the origins of life.
