The social amoebas with their unicellular/multicellular combination life style are an outstanding model to understand the evolution of multicellular development. Their recently completed molecular phylogeny provides a framework for evolutionary studies, but the ongoing comparative genome sequencing projects will provide information on the core components of developmental pathways and the patterns of gene duplication and loss in each of the major groups. This will show how ancestral signalling me
