TL;DR Summary

Scientists have discovered the remains of an ancient lost world of mysterious organisms, known as "protosterol biota," that existed 1.6 billion years ago in Australia. These microscopic creatures help fill in a major gap in human understanding regarding the early evolution of eukaryotes, which are believed to have existed long before plants and animals emerged. The researchers hope to learn more about this ancient lost world by studying the organisms more in-depth and even learn more about evolution's secrets.
