Evangelie ot LUCA: V poiskah rodoslovnoj zhivotnogo mira

The author talks about the animal world and the human race. Only LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) is not an apostle, but our common ancestor, and to understand what kind of creature it is, you, together with biologist Maxim Vinarski, will travel over 4 billion years. He will introduce you to the history of the origin and evolution of multicellular animals. Explain that we, humans, are just one of many branches of the great Tree of Life, and that the species Homo sapiens was formed in accordance with the laws common to the evolution of all living things. Will examine how biologists identify the kinship between animals and reconstruct the paths of their evolution. He will talk about the lives and scientific discoveries of the scientists who came up with the idea of evolutionary kinship of all organisms on Earth and who guessed how this kinship can be determined.
