Sloppy sentence. As far as we know, all life shares a common ancestor with us, even bacteria, fungi, and plants.
- gus_massa 12y agoI agree. The scientific article is interesting, but the press report has a lot of misleading parts. Another: > Since the 1970s, life has traditionally been divided into three domains: multicelled organisms, such as plants and animals, and the two domains of single-celled life, bacteria and archaea. There are a lot of unicellular Eukaryotes. For example in this graphic, http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Filogenia_Cavalier-Smith_2013_-_5_reinos.svg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Filogenia_Cavalier-Sm... the big orange blob is made of unicellular and almost unicellular Eukaryotes. Plants, Animals and Fungus are the small blobs in the corners.
