Development and diversification of the Last Universal Ancestor.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Jun 1994

Koch A L

Abstract excerpt

The majority of evolutionary steps in the development of basic cellular processes took place in the time interval after the "First Cell" arose until the time of the "Last Universal Ancestor". During this period, life evolved in a monophyletic way in which no stable diversity arose; i.e. although side branches developed, only one survived because of simple "survival of the fittest". The myriad of enzymes and...
