Scientist find evidence for how life may have formed in our last common universal ancestor (LUCA), who likely arose in hydrothermal vents in early Earth. Hydrogen played a key role in that process. inverse.com/science/hydro…

The last universal common ancestor (LUCA) was likely a photosynthetic eubacteria who lived 3.5 billion years ago or so. Archaebacteria, previously thought to be more similar to LUCA--especially thermophiles living near deep sea hydrothermal vents--probably only evolved around a billion years ago. link.springer.com/article…

What is the closest microbial life today to the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA)?

Wikipedia says a "...2016 study identified a set of 355 genes inferred to have been present in the LUCA". Is there such an organism alive today that we could see & study?

ELI5: How can the Last Universal Common Ancestor not be a single organism?

I am confused here. Most videos on the internet say that the LUCA was not a single organism nor even a group of organism.

How can that logically be? If it was two different organisms then wouldn't there be more than one LUCA?

Also are viruses, prions and other biological organisms taken into account when trying to find LUCA?

Last universal common ancestor?

I was reading about the last universal ancestor (LUA) which is the most recent organism from which all organisms now living on Earth have common descent.

I was wondering how we know (or why we assume) that all organisms currently living on earth are descended from one ancestor? Is it not possible that two or more different organisms continued to evolve to lead to all the different organisms we have today? For example if more than one instance of abiogenesis occurred, or if an organism (or organic matter) was introduced to earth from space via an asteroid or comet impact? Or is my rudimentary understanding of the topic preventing me from seeing the answer?
