TECO -> Emacs (the original collection of TECO (E)diting (Mac)ro(s))
     -> Emacs (the entertaining collection of C-that-looks-like-lisp
               and lisp)

approximately.

There's a map somewhere out there of all the emacs versions and their
lineage, covering Gosmacs, MULE, Epoch, XEmacs, Microemacs, and
anything else that was spawned from the same codebase/mindset
(Microemacs is a from-scratch build using its own macro language, as I
 recall)
