Domains
The six-kingdom system didn't show that all four eukaryote kingdoms are more closely related to each
other than to the two bacteria kingdoms. It also didn't show that the two bacteria kingdoms are as
different from each other as they are from the eukaryote kingdoms. To show these similarities and
differences, a new taxon, called the domain, was introduced. It was defined as a taxon higher than the
kingdom.
The Three-Domain System
In 1990, a new classification system was introduced that contained three domains: Bacteria, Archaea,
and Eukarya. The Bacteria domain was formerly the Eubacteria kingdom, and the Archaea domain was
formerly the Archaebacteria kingdom. The Eukarya domain includes all four eukaryote kingdoms: plants,
animals, protists, and fungi. The three-domain system emphasizes the similarities among eukaryotes and
the differences among eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea. By using domains, these…
