Every breath you take, every thought you think, every heartbeat that keeps you alive-all depend on ancient bacteria living inside your cells. These microscopic powerhouses, called mitochondria, aren't just cellular accessories. They're the reason complex life exists at all. Without them, Earth would still be a planet of nothing but bacteria, as it was for the first two billion years of life's history. No plants, no animals, no consciousness. Just single cells drifting in primordial seas. This isn't speculation-it's the revolutionary insight that transformed biology in the early 2000s, earning Nick Lane's work the Royal Society Prize and a place on Bill Gates' essential reading list. What makes mitochondria so extraordinary isn't just what they do, but what they reveal about why we age, why we need two sexes, and why we die. These tiny structures hold answers to life's deepest questions, written in a molecular language we're only beginning to decode.
