We believe that the first living things on the planet Eucaliptus were the unicellular organisms. One of these organisms is the  uni-cell Algebra. It was developed in the shallow waters of the oceans and still exists today. It  can be observed swimming in the clear waters offshore the oceans. In the water the uni-cell Algebra looks like a green spot. Most of the  time this organism lives in colonies. 

            Algebra is a Micro Cell organism that has a thick membrane around it. It has an oval shape, soft, and fragile body. Algebra has different colors: green, yellow, blue, and purple. In most cases it is generally green. 

            The Micro Organisms float on the seashores for two reasons. The first one is to get the light from Tablus, and second to catch the nutrients carried in by the waves of the oceans. The aquatic life depends on the light of Tablus and the nutrients from seashores. The light provides heat and energy to Algebra. The chloroplast in Algebra uses light to synthesize glucose from water and carbon dioxide for survival. This process is called photosynthesis. The simple and yet abstract process was the virtue thanks to which Algebra survived for billions of years and will continue into the future.

                The Micro Cell starts to reproduce by division. When Micro Cell processes the glucose, it divides into two completely identical cells. Because of the climatic conditions the cell reproduces rather rapidly. They need a lot of space to continue the reproduction. The micro cells create vast colonies and some regroup to form larger colonies. These large colonies are known as Macro Cells. Its dominating color is still green. The large colonies are still light in weight and are being pushed around by the currents and wind. Some are thrown to the rocky surface near the sea shore. Some swim to the deep darkness of the oceans. Different temperatures and pressures cause the macro cells to change their body structures and to adapt  to their new environment.   

                The large colonies of Algebra thrown onto the rocky environment in the shallow waters changed their body structures. They started to look like plants. They developed long organs called holdfasts. The holdfasts allowed them to attach themselves to the rocks and withstand the heavy waves that every so often hit the rocks. They have become very strong.  The cells of the plants extracted nutrients  from the water. The rudimentary plants not only attached themselves to the rocks but they also developed organs that look like leaves. At the beginning the leaves would dry as they exposed to the sun. After many years the leaves tolerated the sun rays, they absorbed the energy to survive. The plants divided rather quickly because of the good conditions. The early plants were called "La Angela". The normal height for La Angela is one to two inches. 

                During rough tides or storms, some La Angela plants are broken into pieces. The pieces are carried out by strong waves or strong wind to other parts of the oceans. The pieces start new plants and reproduce when they settle down. This is a perfect strategy to survive and spread over the surface of the planet.
                The first generation of plants that evolved from La Angela was called Ninfa. These plants developed organs called branches. The plants reach the surface of the water to obtain the energy from Tablus. The energy was used to continue the process of photosynthesis. This new and beautiful plant was dark green and produced white flowers.

                Both plants La Angela and Ninfa adapted quickly to shallow water conditions. They developed the ability of absorb the nutrients brought in by the waves. Here the plants also developed more leaves, roots, and branches. They continued to flourish in this aquatic environment.
