That's true - and we see that sort of "seeking" behaviour in single celled organisms as well (e.g. https://www.mit.edu/~kardar/teaching/projects/chemotaxis(And...) - but this can be explained by a pretty simple feedback…
That was perhaps misleading phrasing. Animals have both true multicellularity (shared with plants, fungi, and some other algae), and much higher behavioural complexity. Multicellularity is almost certainly necessary for…
I think it's important, in this case, to distinguish between simple multicellularity where identical cells form clumps (known to have evolved at least 25 times in eukaryotes, as well as in prokaryotes according to…
