The last universal ancestor (LUA), also called the last universal common ancestor (LUCA), or the cenancestor, is the most recent organism from which all organisms now living on Earth descend. Thus it is the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all current life on Earth. The LUA is estimated to have lived some 3.5 to 3.8 billion years ago (sometime in the Paleoarchean era).

Does the last universal ancestor (LUA) rebut that humans descended from Adam?

once you find evidence for adam then you can rebut it, but since there is no evidence, it is not a rebuttal
No the DNA evidents shows that we are all descended from one man and one woman. Some believe that they lived 50,000 or 60,000 years apart but that is not possible.

By analyzing the Y-chromosome DNA from sample populations of males in various parts of the world, geneticist Spencer Wells has concluded that all humans alive today are most likely directly patrilineally descended from one man who lived in the African continent around 60,000 years ago.[2]

In the field of human genetics, Mitochondrial Eve refers to the matrilineal "MRCA" (most recent common ancestor). In other words, this was the woman from whom all living humans today descend

Gen 3:20 ¶ And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
If you want to do some real research, you can find that all the people living on earth are descended from Noah after the flood. You can start in Genesis 10 and trace the table of nations to all nations today. This is confirmed by historians throughout history.
