The endosymbiotic hypothesis posits that eukaryotic cells originated through symbiotic relationships between different species of prokaryotes, which explains the presence of mitochondria and chloroplasts with their own DNA. Its strength lies in the genetic and structural similarities between these organelles and prokaryotes, providing strong evolutionary support. However, it may struggle to explain the full complexity of eukaryotic cell structures and functions. In contrast, the autogenic hypothesis suggests that eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotic ancestors through internal compartmentalization, emphasizing the role of cellular mechanisms. While it accounts for cellular complexity, it lacks the compelling evolutionary evidence seen in the endosymbiotic model.
The autogenic theory, which posits that certain bodily processes can be self-regulated through mental techniques, has several weaknesses. One major critique is the lack of robust empirical evidence to support its effectiveness across diverse populations and conditions. Additionally, the theory may overlook the complexities of physiological responses that involve multiple systems and factors beyond individual control. Finally, it can be challenging to measure the subjective experiences associated with autogenic training, making it difficult to standardize and validate the approach.
Autogenic means produced from within, or self-generating. Therefore the 'autogenic hypothesis' is most likely to be that the organelles and structures of a Eukaryotic cell were self-generated by a Prokaryotic cell - and this is how Eukaryotic cells were created. The theory of Endosymbiosis is much more widely accepted.
