Question

The group of organisms humans belong to is relatively small. All living organisms share a common ancestor, as evidenced by the commonality of DNA and ribosomes. Humans are not a unique form of life. Our ability to learn about the natural world does provide us an advantage over many species, especially if we use this advantage wisely. Antibiotics are prevalent in bacteria and fungi, whereas other drugs are derived from plants. Humans are not the most common species on Earth. As many as 8.7 million species are believed to exist today. Humans did not invent most drugs used to treat disease. Humans are a relatively young species, evolving late in the history of life compared with bacteria. Our knowledge about the phylogenetic relationships among species can help us predict the traits of previously unknown species. Human civilization is not possible without the presence of certain other groups of organisms. The first organisms were prokaryotes, which evolved at least 3.6 billion years ago. Animals with backbones make up only 4% of all animal species. Flowering plants are arguably the most important group of
