PizzaOtters(Flynns) L.U.C.A (new... species)

invisible cell is funny hehe.

This mod adds the new species LUCA to the game just cus idk what to put here cus this is a JOKE (or not if you dont want it to be) so ill put a couple DISCLAIMERS. First, this creature is unnaturally overpowered and has the ability to kill nearly anything cus why not. Second, New Species may experience bugs. Third, being invisible is NOT a bug it is intentional bc it is a single celled organism. NEEDS PARK MANAGERS DLC. anyways heres the entire wikipedia article cus idk what else to put:

The last universal common ancestor (LUCA) is the hypothesized common ancestral cell from which the three domains of life — Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya — originated. The cell had a lipid bilayer; it possessed the genetic code and ribosomes which translated from DNA or RNA to proteins. Although the timing of the LUCA cannot be definitively constrained, most studies suggest that the LUCA existed by 3. 5 billion years ago, and possibly as early as 4. 3 billion years ago or earlier. The nature of this point or stage of divergence remains a topic of research.

All earlier forms of life preceding this divergence and all extant organisms are generally thought to share common ancestry. On the basis of a formal statistical test, this theory of a universal common ancestry (UCA) is supported in preference to competing multiple-ancestry hypotheses. The first universal common ancestor (FUCA) is a hypothetical non-cellular ancestor to LUCA and other now-extinct sister lineages.

Whether the genesis of viruses falls before or after the LUCA–as well as the diversity of extant viruses and their hosts–remains a subject of investigation.

While no fossil evidence of the LUCA exists, the detailed biochemical similarity of all current life (divided into the three domains) makes its existence widely accepted by biochemists. Its characteristics can be inferred from shared features of modern genomes. These genes describe a complex life form with many co-adapted features, including transcription and translation mechanisms to convert information from DNA to mRNA to proteins.

Historical background

Further information: Tree of life (biology)

A tree of life, like this one from Charles Darwin's notebooks c. July 1837, implies a single common ancestor at its root (labelled "1"). A phylogenetic tree directly portrays the idea of evolution by descent from a single ancestor. An early tree of life was sketched by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in his Philosophie zoologique in 1809. Charles Darwin more famously proposed the theory of universal common descent through an evolutionary process in his book On the Origin of Species[
