There have been a set of 355 protein clusters present in all organisms
identified as belonging to the *last universal common ancestor*, or
*LUCA*, or *cenancestor*, or (incorrectly) as the *progenote*.
(The physiology and habitat of the last universal common ancestor" by
Madeline C. Weiss, FilipaL.Sousa, Natalia Mrnjavac, Sinje Neukirchen,
Mayo Roettger, Shijulal Nelson-Sathi and William F. Martin (July 25,
2016) Nature Microbiology 16116 | doi:10.1038/NMICROBIOL.2016.116_)
Now, we can't say much about the biology of the LUCA, but what we can
say is that it most likely was a thermophile, that is, heat-loving
organism, and most likely inhabited the deep sea vents. It probably had
DNA based genome, but it's plausible that it had an RNA-based genome
instead. It was also most likely a chemoautotroph, that is, it derived
its metabolism from chemicals such as methane or carbon dioxide.

Not really much of a paleontology post, eh?

but I don't believe it. My ancestors were all sun worshipers
