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,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

Why did classical astronomers conclude the heavens were made up of sphere?
Natalija [7]
The classical astronomers concluded that heavens were made up of a sphere, because heavens were thought to be perfect and spheres (circles) are a perfect shape. It was Plato who argued that geometrical figures were spheres and everyone agreed to him. It was also believed that the perfect motion of spheres was a uniform circular rotation.
