During the development of higher life forms over the course of millions of years, there have always been significant and comparatively sudden leaps in development.

In this process they adopted these abilities partly from their predecessor organisms: For example the plastids of the plants, the place where photosynthesis takes place, were originally autonomous unicellular living organisms.
