It's an assumption based on something called maximum parsimony - all of the lineages share enough in common that they're more likely to have been derived a single time, and diversified from there. But at the end of the day that's only an informed hypothesis - it breaks down if you assume that there's only "one way to do it". In that case, it's entirely possible that it could have arisen multiple times.

I have to begrudgingly agree that this is a disappointing video inasmuch as it does very little to deliver on the title, "Exploring the Deep Mystery of Life's Origins." At a certain point early on as I was watching the video, however, I realized that this was just a biographical vignette. It is not a disappointing video if it is understood simply as a brief statement of a scientist's motivation for pursuing his passions. I may not agree with his particular point of view on everything he is saying, but it is not important whether I agree or not for me to sympathize with his excitement for the object of his studies. Finally, all I have to take issue with is the title of the video; it is not an honest title, or in other words it is 'clickbait'. But I can forgive the title because I'm glad there are scientists with passion for their professions.

This established life makes it very unlikely that the conditions (e.g. by eating the nescesary chemicals) for new abiogenisis occur for long enough for new life to get established. And even if it would get started, it would still be incredible slow and primitive compared to the 4 billion year old lot and thus likely eaten.

Rigid or soft cell walls, Chloroplasts. Multicellular? Differentiation? A few more minor charms. But that's the evolutionary minor leagues. (i.e. the difference between say plants, fungi and animals). The really, really major changes are all like how mitochondria and a few other organelles came about. And mostly by some more specialised cell finding a home in another type of cells. At this level of evolution multicellular organisms are likely dead ends. Naturally speaking. For it will is far more likely that the next really big thing will come from single celled organisms. Which may then in turn evolve into being more complex (evolutionarily rich?) than the complex life as we know it today. Speculatively as examples: Why shouldn't there one day be cells with something like graphene cellular walls, powered by maybe micro fusion, storing genetic information in super durable crystals with vast redundancy and precision? Or single celled life complex enough to themselves be conscious? There's time. Far more than "we" likely have on this little planet.

I wish scientists would stick to their chosen field, and stay away from philosophizing. This one has a bug about primordial soup. Did he once mention the Miller-Urey experiment? I wonder why not...
