Wait no thats not what protista is, right? Like that doesnt seem true.
Protista is a specific thing in 19th century biology and today and it is not "the primary living cell". Its a type of eukaryote that is neither plant, fungus or animal. It is a sort of genetic midpoint with ill defined borders. When Engels wrote this it was even more nebolously defined with various competing definitions, but I believe the most common was something akin to "something that is alive and isnt a plant or an animal".

He's basically saying from tiny insiginificant lifeforms to humans.
