- The disentanglement of the deep splits in the tree of life only really got going with DNA sequencing, leading to a system of domains rather than kingdoms as top level rank being put forward by Carl Woese, uniting all the eukaryote kingdoms under the eukaryote domain .
- As such the tree of life consists of three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.
