Summary Introduction

To explain:

The statement that “Nearly every organism on Earth shares an identical genetic code, indicating that this scheme arose very early in the history of life” and determine its theme.

Introduction:

“Evolution” is a process of the development of new species from the ancestral species in the geological time era. The genome of the ancestral species is studied with the help of fossils and their genome sequences are analyzed with homology identification. The sequences of many organisms are similar in the same phylogenetic history. The genetic code is similar with a few single nucleotide polymorphisms which explains their similar origin.
