There were no eukaryotes... and then there were.

This was the ignition of complex, multicellular biology. What else could explain it?

I will admit that I thought they were closer to the Cambrian Explosion. This is much farther away than I thought.

"Eukaryotes emerged approximately 2.2 billion years ago, during the Proterozoic eon, likely as flagellated phagotrophs."

What about mitochondria? I did not address your mention of eukaryotes, only mitochondria, which existed as bacteria long before eukaryotes. You're intentionally ignoring the error in your OP and my pun: mitochondria did not emerge with eukaryotes, they "merged." Your lack of addressing mitochondria in your response makes it a straw man.
