2 Figure 1 Three-domain and two-domain views of the tree of life.
In the standard, three-domain, hypothesis (A), archaebacteria and eukaryotes are sister taxa, whereas in the two-domain hypothesis (B), eukaryotes derive from within archaebacteria. Trees are shown as being conventionally rooted between eubacteria and archaebacteria. Although alternative roots (e.g., within the eubacteria) are possible, the two hypothesized relationships between eukaryotes and archaebacteria remain as shown.
