Haeckel's original (1866) conception of the three kingdoms of life, including the new kingdom Protista. Notice the inclusion of the cyanobacterium Nostoc with plants. In 1674, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek , often called the "father of microscopy", sent the Royal Society of London a copy of his first observations of microscopic single-celled organisms.

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.
Tree of Life in Generelle Morphologie der Organismen (1866) [2]. Traditionally the natural world was classified as animal, vegetable, or mineral as in Systema Naturae.After the development of the microscope, attempts were made to fit microscopic organisms into either the plant or animal kingdoms.
By 1998, Cavalier-Smith had reduced the total number of kingdoms from eight to six: Animalia, Protozoa, Fungi, Plantae (including red and green algae), Chromista, and Bacteria. [44] Five of Cavalier-Smith's kingdoms are classified as eukaryotes as shown in the following scheme: Eubacteria; Neomura. Archaebacteria; Eukaryotes. Kingdom Protozoa
