Taking into account the definition of a crown group, crown eukaryotes could be seen as the aggrupation of all lineages descending from LECA (Last Eukarytotic Common Ancestor). This comprises a huge ensemble of taxa that seemingly diverged simultaneously and that conform the vast majority of the eukaryotic life, plants, fungi, animals and the variety of protist lineages. According to ribosomal RNA data, the radiation of eukaryotes from LECA would have originated from a series of basal lineages that branched off successively at this early stage.[1] The hallmark of these organisms pertaining to crown eukaryotes is a higher complexity of their genetic and cellular machinery as compared with prokaryotes, enabled by their cellular compartmentalization.
