the reason this is amazing is because the most opportunistic self-serving shitheads in this country are acting like MAGA is a toxic brand, and this is GREAT FOR US.

they are still not our friends.

Also, she fully believes a cabal of worldwide Jewish pedophiles control the government. She just thinks Trump has become compromised by them. Or possibly was secretly compromised the entire time.

What this suggests is that OUR ancestors were archaea. We're rooted in this group along with all our eukaryotic brethren.

It also supports a "two domain" classification model of living things. All living things are either Archaea (includes us) or bacteria.

By standard taxonomy, YOU are Archaea🧪.

...with Thorarchaeia, Odinarchaeia, Heimdallarchaeia, all now grouped in 'Promethearchaeaceae'.

One of the intriguing things about this group are the presence of "eukaryotic signature proteins" like actin, GTPases, ubiquitin.

We eukaryotes ALSO have those proteins, but they're missing in bacteria.

This group are Asgardians because they were first isolated from 'Loki's Castle', a region of undersea volcanic vents along the mid-Atlantic ridge near Iceland & Svalbard.

They named this group 'Lokiarchaeota'

Because scientists are a bunch of nerds, they kept the Aesir-naming system going...

... we now consider archaea to be their own domain of life.

The name in Greek 'arkhaîon' means 'ancient', because they have properties not shared by either prokaryotes (bacteria) or eukaryotes (us, protists) including unusual cell membranes, metabolic pathways, organelles.
