Collectively, they are called the Asgard archaea, and some scientists think they could be the origin of eukaryotic life - perhaps after an Asgard-like archaeon swallowed up a bacterium.

If eukaryotes did form by that process, it only happened one time in billions of years.
What if it didn’t happen at all?
We wouldn’t be here and all life would be single celled.
