Lynn Margulis is an ardent supporter of the Gaia hypothesis: the idea that due to the finely balanced interdependence of all life forms, the planet functions as a single, giant cell. She argues that no organism is an island, and that all are linked to each other.

It may seem that a review of Lynn Margulis' work in the area of microbiology would hardly be advantaged by the information presented by a theoretical high-energy physicist. Nevertheless, such is the case. The American physicist Fritjof Capra, received his Ph.D. on the gravitational collapse of neutron stars from the University of Vienna in 1966 where he studied with Werner Heisenberg. He taught and researched theoretical high-energy physics at Orsay in Paris from 1966-1968, the University of California in Santa Cruz from 1968-1970, Stanford Linear Accelerator Centre, and at the Imperial College in London.

Lynn Margulis ... argues that the eukaryotic flagella was originally a species of spirochette. However, spirochettes have the wrong mode of motility – and it appears that a gradualistic approach may be best with this organelle.
