Galtier et al. (Science 1999, 283, 220}221) exploit the correlation between the optimal growth temperature in prokaryotes and the G#C content of rRNAs and establish that the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) lived in a mesophilic environment. This result was achieved by estimating the G#C conten

The majority of evolutionary steps in the development of basic cellular processes took place in the time interval after the "First Cell" arose until the time of the "Last Universal Ancestor". During this period, life evolved in a monophyletic way in which no stable diversity arose; i.e. although sid
The existence of a correlation between the optimal growth temperature of various organisms and a thermophily index (based on the propensity of amino acids to enter more frequently into the proteins of thermophiles/hyperthermophiles) allows inferences to be made on the mesophilic or thermophilic natu
