help to understand a common ancestor that scientists believe was present before life split into forms such as bacteria, heat-loving organisms and the building blocks that led to plants and animals

This is great! I have only been able so far to trace my ancestors back to Adam and Eve. Now I can go back ever so much further...

The word may appears in the headline. Each time the word may appears in a headline we may assume that the article is total speculation. The use of the word may ought to mean permit, but meaning is selling at a discount these days.

Scientists ... say they have discovered a heat-loving, acid-dwelling virus...

They've temporarily named it "the Timothy Leary virus"...

"This is something that was predicted but hadn't been shown before," Rice said.

That is predicted from evolutionary theory, not from ID-Creationism.

Yellowstone is relatively young, geologically speaking. Is there any particular reason to believe that these viruses are relics from 3 billion years ago, vs. having evolved to their environment in the last X number of millions of years?

Boiling Acid Virus would be a great name for a band.

"These bugs are living and doing business in a harsh environment," Rice said. "This may be clues about what to look for."

Viruses aren't alive. They exist in a harsh evironment because the host is there, much like football helmets exist in a football stadium.
