Mind blown: every animal, plant, and fungus on Earth can be traced back to a single ancient ancestor called the Asgard archaea. Scientists just found the closest living relatives to our original eukaryotic roots—think of them as our long-lost microbial cousins chilling in ocean mud. It’s like finding out your family tree goes back to Norse gods, but way, way nerdier. Who knew we all had a bit of Asgardian in us? #Science #ScienceFacts #Evolution
