Hey there, my name is Lance Lafontaine.

I am a Cell and Molecular Biology undergraduate student at Concordia University, aspiring to be a biotechnologist/synthetic biologist. I am interested in all that's related to science, technology, and freethinking, among other things.

Oct 20	comment	Were there lifeforms before LUCA? I actually wasn't referring to "a whole other type of life" as you describe, or if abiogenesis had happened twice on earth, but the first paragraph (not counting the first sentence) is exactly what I was looking for, and now seems all-too-obvious in retrospect. As you suggest, if we knew of evidence which described this early now-extinct lifeform, we would have to revise our definition of LUCA. Thanks for the epiphany!
