Scientists Find Oldest Evidence of Human Ancestors

[Yocha News]

 

After two decades of examining different types of organisms through a microscope at the lake in Norway, scientists claim to have discovered one of the oldest organisms. The findings were believed to be the oldest human ancestor believed to have existed millions of years ago.

 

Scientists found that single cell organism that has evolved its findings suspect approximately one billion years ago. Cells are not the categories of living organisms such as animals, plants, parasites, fungi and algae, but the cells of early human species.

 

"We have found a branch of the tree of life (structural classification of living things) are not known to live in this lake. It is unique," said Kamran Shalchian Tabrizi, researchers from the University of Oslo.

 

According to Kamran, after all this time doing research in the area of ​​the lake, he and his team have never found a rare species. "So far we know that no other group of organisms, in addition to these species," he said.

 

Scientists named the species is believed to be the ancestors of this man by the name Collodictyon. Collodictyon live in the mud of the lake approximately 30 kilometers from the southern Oslo region.

 

These organisms were found to have a length of 30 to 50 micrometers. These cells can only be seen through a microscope.

 

Collodictyon has a four flagella that resemble the tail rotor blades are used for moving. These findings also provide insight to scientists on the lives of living organisms that occur on the planet Earth since hundreds of millions of years ago.

Collodictyon is a single-celled eukaryote[2] that does not fall into any other known category of eukaryotes, making it the most distant eukaryotic relative to animals. According to two reports, Collodictyon is notable for being "man's remotest relative", and further study may yield insights into the prehistoric beginnings of man hundreds of millions of years ago.[2][3] They have only been found in lake sludge in Lake As, a lake 18 miles (29 km) south of Oslo in Norway.[2] Kamran Shalchian-Tabrizi, the leader of the Microbial Evolution Research Group (MERG), claims that these organisms resemble the basal eukaryote.[4] They range from 30 to 50 microns in length,[2] can grow broad pseudopodia, and have four flagella for motility[2] and a ventral feeding groove.[3]. Unlike bacteria, the creatures have cell nuclei which are enclosed by membranes.[2] Researcher Dag Klaveness reported that the creatures are "not sociable" and cannibalize each other after eating other food.[2] Their closest relatives come from the Protist group Diphylleia

without links between this creature and humans what is to say they are the ancesotrs of humanity? I think this is fa fetched, specially since the primordial soup could have been formed on many palces simultaneously and this mean there could be more than one tree of life and not every living species must be related, it is true we are related to hominids but it is far fetched to say we are related to these eukaryotes...

It is indeed true that we are related to all Eukaryota, as far as we know there is only on tree of life, more like a tumble weed than a tree really, but to say that this organism is ancestral to all other Eukaryota is stretching a point far beyond any reasonable association.

I must admit I am ignorant on the evidence to the existence of a single tree of life and to the claim that we are necessarily related to all eukaryota, however at least we can agree that claiming ancestry is far fetched in this one case...
