That is, if these cells even had anything to do with it. We're only going by the endosymbiotic theory.

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the endosymbiotic theory and its implications for the evolution of multicellular life. It asserts that the transition from unicellular to multicellular organisms is not directly linked to prokaryotic evolution. Instead, multicellular organization may have originated independently in eukaryotes, with some evidence of multicellularity in bacteria. The relationship between prokaryotes and the evolution of multicellular life remains complex and not definitively established.
