My point was that the fusion was of the many different monomers(amino acids) to make a protien which is the basic building block for a cell. Forgive me for not makeing that more clear for the Ph.D's in Biology out there.
I don't have a PhD in biology, I don't even have a degree, though i could get one at this point.
the condensation of amino acids to make proteins is not a process that likely took place at the beginning of life, nor are proteins the building blocks of the cell. A cell is much more than protein, the most obviousl component being the lipid bilayer.
the first machines were ribozymes (RNA) and protein was likely only incorporated later. The basic building block of a cell is more appropriately. If you're looking for a better model than one that 50 years old, look to Carl Woese's research.

Evolution does not imply superiority, it only implies differnce. Animals evolve from common, they share relatives. So no, the common ancestor would not necessarily cease to exist.
