LUCA is short for Last Universal Common Ancestor, and it is from this ‘organism' that every living cell on the planet has descended. LUCA does not represent the earliest stage in the evolution of life - it is widely accepted that before the evolution of proteins and DNA (which are common to all cellular life) there was a period where RNA carried out the roles now performed by proteins and DNA [Jeffares & Poole 2000].
