Are We All Actually Archaea?

The video explores the discovery and significance of Archaea, a domain of life distinct from bacteria and eukaryotes. Initially found in extreme environments, Archaea are now known to be widespread. They share a closer genetic relationship with eukaryotes than with bacteria. The discovery of Asgard Archaea suggests that eukaryotes may have evolved from within the Archaea domain, challenging the traditional three-domain system of life. This could imply a revision of the tree of life, potentially reducing it to two domains.
