Most Recent Ancestor Of All Current Living Things

Hey Im LUCA the last universal common ancestor back from before the comma Im like everybodys great-grandma I got in on the ground floor. Its funny how people think I must have been somehow smarter than my sisters and beat them out because it wasnt like that. Things were moving fast back then and I just happened to be ready when the chemistry went bonkers from all these smart new cells trying new stuff I could take the abuse is all. I wonder how things would have turned out if aunt LUCY lived she was so smart she could spell like I dont know what.
