Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Last universal common ancestor. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20100223043804/http://faculty.clintoncc.suny.edu/faculty/michael.gregory/files/Bio%20101/Bio%20101%20Lectures/Life/life.htm to http://faculty.clintoncc.suny.edu/faculty/Michael.Gregory/files/Bio%20101/Bio%20101%20Lectures/Life/life.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Viruses?

I searched for the word "virus" in the article and could not find it? The lead says "is the most recent population of organisms from which all organisms now living on Earth have a common descent". Are viruses included in "all organisms"? Thanks, JS (talk) 04:06, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Not necessarily. In any case, the origin of viruses is unclear because they do not form fossils. --Epipelagic (talk) 06:53, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply and the links. If I google "viruses luca" there are actually quite a few matches, and many speak of viruses having existed before LUCA. JS (talk) 01:19, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
