For the first time, they have isolated Lokiarchaeota, and grown it in a lab.

What could possibly go wrong?......In a Japanese Lab?.....................

“long tentacles sprouting from its body, within which its partner microbes nestled.”

That reads like organelles within eucaryote cells. Hm.

They should do this experiment in space for safety.

History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man.

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.

Just wait until those cute little Loki grow up and mutate.

Another case in point of just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Bring back T-rex!

Didn’t “Ancient Aliens” do an episode on this, a few years ago?
