the origin of new genetic information.  The chief current proponents of symbiogenesis are Dr. [[Lynn Margulis]] and Dorion Sagan. Dr. Margulis argues that symbiogenesis is a primary force behind evolution.<ref>http://www.isepp.org/Pages/San%20Jose%2004-05/MargulisSaganSJ.html</ref>  Dr. Margulis is a Distinguished University Professor in the Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Dr. Margulis is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Russian Academy of Natural Science. She received a National Medal of Science from President Bill Clinton in 2000.  The idea of symbiogenesis originated with Konstantin Mereschkowsky in his 1926 book Symbiogenesis and the Origin of Species.

[[Russia]]n evolutionary thought has been more receptive towards symbiogenesis due to the antipathy of many Russians intellectuals to [[Robert Malthus|Malthusian]] thought and the [[Charles Darwin|Darwinian]] notion of [[natural selection]] via competition.<ref>http://www.csun.edu/~vasishth/Vasishth-Darwin+Competition.pdf</ref>  In a April of 2009 interview with the writer Suzan Mazur Dr. Lynn Margulus stated:  "In the [[Russia]]n equivalent of the ''[[Encyclopedia Britannica]]'', some 250 pages describe symbiogenesis."<ref>http://www.counterpunch.org/mazur04022009.html</ref>
