Everything that lives on Earth originates from a common ancestral cell. How could Luca Last Comon Ancestor have evolved to produce such diversity? And how can we share this diversity and unity of life through the cells that compose it? (Rebroadcast from 10/25/2023)
Let’s set off on a fascinating odyssey, a dive into the very heart of life and the cells that compose it. Everything that lives on Earth, from bacteria to trees and humans, is made up of cells originating from the same common ancestral cell: Luca. How did this ancestor cell common to all living things appear billions of years ago and was able to evolve to form all ancient and current organisms? Why does understanding the origin and functioning of these cells mean discovering the formidable unity of life?
With Christian Sardet, CNRS emeritus research director at the BioDev Laboratory of the Sea Institute of Villefranche-sur-Mer (CNRS and Sorbonne University), he is the author of numerous scientific publications on molecules, cells, embryos and plankton and co- founder and coordinator of the Tara Oceans expedition.
