The amino-acids that the body is not able to synthesis in adequate amounts are called essential because they must be supplied by diet in proper proportions and amounts to meet the requirements for the growth and maintenance of tissues.

We do know that the smallest, "simplest" form of life consists of about 400 to 600 proteins that average around 400 amino-acids in length.
