Abstract
Modern Synthesis (MS), the generally accepted theory of evolution is centered on species formation and population dynamics. According to MS, genes are considered the material basis of evolution. It is proposed that any scientific hypothesis trying to explain the evolution of eukaryotes must be able to explain the origin of eukaryotic-specific traits such as nucleosomes, mitotic chromosomes, chromosome bands, cell nucleus, eukaryotic cells, sex, species, multicellular and homeothermic organisms, including modern humans. As is known, the genome of eukaryotic organisms consists of coding DNA (euchromatin) and non-coding DNA (heterochromatin). A hypothesis is proposed that the evolution of eukaryotes occurred on the basis of a non-coding part of the genome. Below we discuss the assumptions that the material basis of the origin and evolution of the eukaryotic organisms were, apparently, non-coding DNAs due to their molecular structure, behavior during the cell cycle, the localization on chromosomes and wide variability, were the main genetic material in the evolution of eukaryotic organisms.
