The last universal common ancestor (LUCA) departed long ago, taking its evolutionary secrets to the grave or—more likely—the environs of a deep sea vent. Yet clues remain, scattered among the genomes ...

Just call them archaea (ar-kee-uh) - archaebacteria are no more. Archaea were once considered to be quite similar to bacteria, but these prokaryotes are just weird enough to be classified in their own ...
