ANCIENT ALGAE SUCCESSFULLY EVOLVED IN ACIDIC OCEANS. “The brutal conditions on Earth meant the first algae cells had to evolve and re-evolve millions of times as their microenvironments crashed with electrical storms and severe heat followed by freezes and meteor showers of super-heated rocks. Algae displayed incredible persistence and developed a wide variety of defense mechanisms. Algae’s ability to adapt quickly in order to survive led to an estimated 10 million algal species.””
