This observation has puzzled scientists for decades: How could the complex cell types from
eukaryotes have
emerged from the simple cells of Archaea?
Eukaryotes (gray branch) are suggested to have
emerged from the Asgard archaea upon endosymbiosis with an alphaproteobacterial partner (the mitochondrial endosymbiont).
It also suggests that cell life could have
emerged with a far greater variety of pre-cellular forms than those conventionally considered, as the new giant virus has almost no equivalent among the three recognized domains of cellular life, namely eukaryota (or
eukaryotes), eubacteria, and archaea.
