Research: Humans, animals, and plants share origins
A new study from the University of Texas at Austin provides evidence that all living organisms with differentiated cells, such as humans, plants, and fungi, descend from a common ancestor known as "Asgard archaea." These ancient microscopic creatures, which inhabit deep oceans and hot springs, are considered the fundamental link in the evolution of complex life on Earth. It is believed that their development began over two billion years ago, followed by a symbiotic relationship with oxygen-utilizing bacteria, leading to the emergence of complex cells. These findings open new horizons for a deeper understanding of the history of life on our planet.
