RE: Tree of Life: Why did evolution bother with multicellular life?

Very unlikely @grottbags. But there is a something called epigenetics where environmental influence can modify an organism's germline DNA and therefore affect subsequent generations, even altering their behaviour. The effects of starvation in humans and worms have been shown to have epigenetic effects.
