	Carl Sagan
		Sagan was among the first to hypothesize that Titan and Jupiter's moon Europa may possess oceans (a subsurface ocean in the case of Europa) or lakes.
		Sagan is regarded by most as an atheist or agnostic, observing statements such as: "The idea that God is an oversized white male with a flowing beard who sits in the sky and tallies the fall of every sparrow is ludicrous.
		Sagan was a significant figure, and his supporters credit his importance to his popularisation of the natural sciences, opposing both restraints on science and reactionary applications of science, defending democratic traditions, resisting nationalism, defending humanism, and arguing against geocentric and anthropocentric views.

		Lynn Margulis, a biologist, and Dorion Sagan, a science writer (and her son), have written a scientific narrative that is instructive on how to read this image of egg and sperm ironically.
		In their work, Margulis and Sagan provide an explanation of a new perspective on evolution and sex that is grounded in the following ideas: a taxonomy that is inclusive of all forms of life, including microbial life, and a view of evolution that emphasizes symbiosis over adaptation and cooperation over competition.
		Sagan’s essay “Metametazoa” was published in an interdisciplinary collection of essays about “the problem of life itself.” The citations in Margulis and Sagan’s co-authored works also are interdisciplinary and include Plato, Descartes, Foucault, Bataille, and Oscar Wilde (to name a few).

	The unselfish genome: the case for cooperating genes Natural History - Find Articles
		In their most recent book Lynn Margulis, of the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Dorion Sagan estimate that a staggering 10 percent of our dry weight is made up not of our own cells but of our symbionts.
		In the ensuing three decades she has been the tireless champion of symbiosis, arguing with some success that other cell components have likewise evolved from bacteria, and that symbiosis is a pervasive and crucial process in evolution.
		Nevertheless, Margulis and Sagan do have a point--evolutionary biologists have largely ignored the formidable status of symbiotic interactions as ecological processes, as well as their potential for shuttling genes between genomes.

	Lynn Margulis Summary
		At the age of nineteen, she married Sagan, received a B.A. in liberal arts, and moved to Madison, Wisconsin, to pursue a joint master's degree in zoology and genetics at the University of Wisconsin under the guidance of noted cell biologist Hans Ris.
		The "Gaia theory" (named for the Greek goddess of the earth) essentially states that all life, as well as the oceans, the atmosphere, and the earth itself are parts of a single, all-encompassing symbiosis and may fruitfully be considered as elements of a single organism.
		She was the first wife of astronomer Carl Sagan and is the mother of Dorion Sagan, popular science writer and co-author, Jeremy Sagan, software developer and founder of Sagan Technology, Zachary Margulis-Ohnuma, New York City Criminal Defense lawyer, and Jennifer Margulis, teacher and author.

		They propose a mechanism for evolutionary change that is largely outside the mainstream of evolutionary theory which emphasises mutation by random genetic mutation.
		Symbiogenesis is the process of creating new species by the merging of previously separate genomes that have come to have a symbiotic relationship to each other.
		Therefore the very existence of multicellar life is a result of a symbiotic merging among bacterial predecessors and therefore the process of symbiogenesis is fundamental to the very existence of species.

	Into the Cool: Energy Flow, Thermodynamics, and Life by Eric D. Schneider and Dorion Sagan
		Building upon the beautiful subtleties of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, Eric Schneider and Dorion Sagan take us on a tour de force through biology, touching upon the origin of life, sex, evolution, ecology, and even economics.
		Most exciting to us is the major simplification we show that "nature abhors a gradient" (Schneider and Kay 1989; Sagan and Schneider 2000).

		In this scientific tour de force, Schneider and Sagan show how the second law is behind evolution, ecology,economics, and even life's origin.
