The three domains of life

Both Bacteria and Archaea are considered prokaryotes, and they represent two of the three domains of life, with the third domain being Eukarya, which includes all complex organisms, including humans, animals, plants, and fungi.

The relationship between Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya is a complex and evolving field of study. It’s still a matter of scientific investigation and discussion as to which of these two prokaryotic domains, Bacteria or Archaea, might be more closely related to the common ancestor of all life on Earth.

Some researchers have proposed that Archaea may have closer evolutionary ties to the last universal common ancestor (LUCA), the hypothetical single-celled organism from which all life on Earth is descended. However, this is not yet definitively established, and ongoing research is providing new insights into the evolutionary history of life.

I miss one (1) ep of LUCA and now the detached detective lady is giving birth to Zi O's (presumably) zappy offspring??? Bc they are together now apparently??? And it's not like anyone would want to study their child in a lab....
