The three-domain system adds a level of classification (the domains) "above" the kingdoms present in the previously used five- or six-kingdom systems.This classification system recognizes the fundamental divide between the two prokaryotic groups, insofar as Archaea appear to be more closely related to eukaryotes than they are to other prokaryotes – bacteria-like organisms with no cell nucleus.

Six Kingdoms may refer to: In biology, a scheme of classifying organisms into six kingdoms: Proposed by Carl Woese et al.: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea/Archaeabacteria, and Bacteria/Eubacteria; Proposed by Thomas Cavalier-Smith: Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Chromista, Protozoa and Eukaryota
First proposed in 1977, Carl Woese's three-domain system was not generally accepted until later. [69] One main characteristic of the three-domain method is the separation of Archaea and Bacteria , previously grouped into the single kingdom Bacteria (a kingdom also sometimes called Monera ), [ 68 ] with the Eukaryota for all organisms whose ...
