LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -According to modern evolutionary biology, all living beings could be descendants of a unique ancestor commonly referred to as the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) of all life on Earth. Common descent is an effect of speciation, in which multiple species derive from a single ancestral population.

Detailed explanation-2: -All animals (including humans), plants and other organisms such as fungi and algae are Eukaryotes and share a common ancestor. And universal common ancestry would have it that all three domains themselves stem from a single root.

Detailed explanation-3: -Part of the Darwin exhibition. Overwhelming evidence shows us that all species are related–that is, that they are all descended from a common ancestor. More than 150 years ago, Darwin saw evidence of these relationships in striking anatomical similarities between diverse species, both living and extinct.

Detailed explanation-4: -New species arise through a process called speciation. In speciation, an ancestral species splits into two or more descendant species that are genetically different from one another and can no longer interbreed. Darwin envisioned speciation as a branching event.

Detailed explanation-5: -All life on Earth evolved from a single-celled organism that lived roughly 3.5 billion years ago, a new study seems to confirm. The study supports the widely held “universal common ancestor” theory first proposed by Charles Darwin more than 150 years ago.
