We don't have such a thing to our knowledge so it's not trivial. If you still feel it is, do the application yourself - it's trivial after all.
- not_alexb 3y agoI don't think you understand what I'm saying. You can arbitrarily create models of earth life that didn't have a common ancestor via "my" hypotheticals which are just as valid as univeral common ancestor (which predominantly features: there is something common in all life, so all life must have came from the same place; obviously this is a gross oversimplification but that's what we're dealing with in the answer)
- _a_a_a_ 3y ago> You can arbitrarily create models of earth life that didn't have a common ancestor I'm finding it very difficult to understand what you mean by "models of life". Actually I have no idea. What does this phrase even mean?
