What the theory of origin of life will use Thrive?

Unless someone wants to rework the start of the game, vulcanic vents will be assumed to be the origin of live.

@LightUpRise

In the current game, we don’t start from a single strand of Ran, but LUCA ( last common ancestor) .

Which was complex enough to be called a species, but lacked everything which we know today.

Exactly right.

@LightUpRise

A before life stage could be a great addition but not necessarily a starting point.

There’s a thread for that:

Pre-Cellular Stage

I was thinking to add to the depth of the game, it would be vastly interesting to begin the game in a defined world (A multi-nuclei cell.) with many organelles, proteins/enzymes, and begin life as a simple protein(virus). Then as you become a more complex protein you add other complex protiens to your chain, and attack other organelles, nuclei, and begin forming a lipid-bilayer for protection against other enzymes in the cell you’re inhabiting. Then when you burst free from your host-cell, or …

@Gotor

I mean, LUCA should appear not in ocean. It should appear in closed mud volcano.

That one is new to me. One of our new theorists is a supporter of the theory about life beginning in warm ponds. So you’ll want to post your evidence why mud volcanoes are more plausible.
