The Gospel of LUCA. In Search of the Common Ancestor of All Living Things

The book "The Gospel of LUCA" tells about the animal world and the human race. Only LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) is not an apostle, but our common ancestor, and in order to understand what kind of creature it is,... the reader, along with the author of the book, biologist Maxim Vinarskiy, will traverse a distance of more than 4 billion years.
He will become acquainted with the history of the emergence and evolution of multicellular animals. He will find out that we, humans, are just one of the many branches of the great Tree of Life, and that the species Homo sapiens formed according to the laws common to the evolution of all living things. He will understand how biologists uncover the relationships between animals and reconstruct the paths of their evolution. He will learn about the lives and scientific discoveries of those scientists who came to the idea of evolutionary relationship of all organisms on Earth and figured out how to determine that relationship.
