Long ago scientists assumed that the life on the earth started later and simpler. New studies are transforming such opinion. Experience indicates that everything that exists on the planet, including tiny bacteria and giant whales, all have a common ancestor. What is even more amazing is the age of this ancestor. It must have been much older than scientists like to think and when the Earth was still inhospitable and unsteady. This finding alters our perception of life, survival and evolution. It demonstrates that life is more powerful, older and interconnected than we had ever thought. All living beings, animals, and plants are interconnected in a strong biological relationship that dates back to billions of years ago.
