NASA senior astrobiologist Christopher McKay stated: 'The basic biochemical similarity of living things is one of the profound results of biology. The great diversity of life forms on Earth are really just morphological variations on a single fundamental biochemistry. . . . Not only do all organisms on Earth share the same basic genetic code, but they all show clear evidence, in this code, of shared descent.'
