The origins of complex, nucleated cellular life – everything from amoebas to humans – may date back a lot further in Earth's ...
As eukaryotic cells started to form, eukaryotic traits may have emerged in early cells about one billion years before the ...
Prokaryotes are ancient, simple forms of life that include bacteria and archaea. These cellular life forms lack membrane-bound organelles. Those organelles, which include the nucleus and the ...
