“Unfortunately, there are two lapsus calami, which I missed in my review of the proof. They are as follows: • third paragraph, last line: the word “proximal” should be “proximate” • fourth paragraph, fourth last line: the word “ancestor” should be “ancestry” • in the same paragraph, the clause “The Eucarya share a common ancestry with Archaea, independently of Bacteria,” should be separately referenced with 6a.”
