The lottery of the origin of life.

There is another option and that is that perhaps life, like the jackpot in the Christmas lottery, only has one possible and exact combination that leads to the basic genetic code, the one that Luca had, in that case other Lucas would have emerged throughout billions of years of the earth's existence, even today we would not be able to differentiate them from the original Luca since they would have the same life lottery number, the same basic combination of genetic code, but this option is also quite strange, since the combinations necessary for life to arise as we know it here on earth or anywhere else are very complex and still full of mysteries.

And here we come to the research published by the University of Arizona on December 12, Luca would be the first living being, the first living being that could reproduce and from which we all descend and that had the basic genetic structure that we all have, then That structure became more complicated depending on each species, expanding or reducing depending on the species, but the basic structure was that of that ancestral being.

That experiment where with some test tubes an attempt was made to reproduce the conditions of the primitive earth and that electricity and electrical charges were introduced and that some amino acids and some precursor substances of life were obtained, but according to the authors of this research from the University of Arizona, The current understanding of how the code evolved is flawed, because it is based on misleading laboratory experiments, are terms they put in their statement.

Instead of analyzing the evolutionary evidence, in fact, what they complain most is that there were no substances such as sulfur in that mixture, in that flask, in that experiment, for example, which apparently was very important in the early times of the origin of the earth and this is interesting for the search for extraterrestrial life.

These researchers criticize that 1952 experiment because sulfur was not included and it was apparently one of the essential elements and according to the research, those worlds like Mars, Enceladus and Europa predominate sulfur compounds and this could guide our search for life to highlight those biogeochemical cycles where sulfur metabolism comes in, which is something very important, apparently it was very important in the early days of the origin of life on earth.

Another detail, this investigation discovered clues about genetic codes that existed before Luca and that have been lost, perhaps those genetic codes did not find the key, with that winning tenth of the lottery of life, they came close, but did not reach that prize that Luca won or perhaps Luca ended up absorbing those pre-existing, previous ancestral genetic codes that were lost.
