The single-celled organism at the base of the tree of life, often referred to as the last universal common ancestor (LUCA), is estimated to have existed around 3.5 to 4 billion years ago. This ancient organism is thought to be a simple prokaryote, from which all current life forms, including bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes, eventually descended. Its age reflects the early stages of life's evolution on Earth.
