It means that all organisms have a common ancestor, an organism from which all actual organisms derived from.

Our microscopic ancestor lived billions of years ago. Scientists named it LUCA which is short for Last Universal Common Ancestor.

Scientists believe that is was a unicellular organism, composed by a simple cell, that gave way to the cells we know today, by forming new organelles across the years.


Hope it helped,
