Cleavage lacks the growth phase of mitosis resulting in progressively smaller cells
It's either 3.5 or 1.2
There would be more evidence spread out through space to be noticed by scientists and it seems like a stretch to go as far back as 4 billion years ago.
(I mean really? That much before the DINOSOURS died? I don't think so)
