Prokaryotes evolved before eukaryotes, as evidenced by their longer fossil record and evolutionary relationships. The discussion highlights that eukaryotes are nested within prokaryotic lineages, supporting the conclusion that prokaryotes are the ancestral form of life. This understanding is crucial for comprehending the evolutionary history of cellular life on Earth.
