I suppose you could say 10 species were discovered in the last millennium.
|
When they replace us, I hope they're better at science reporting.
|
My interpretation: Individual species have been discovered over the past 100 years, they were first grouped together and named as a group in '88, and the new discovery is that they are a separate kingdom (domain?).
|
Guess we could just write the article ourselves.
I "feel like" this is "probably" a "new(-ish)" discovery* This is how "science" is done nowadays, amirite? *"discovery" |

My interpretation was the synthesis of three sources - the article, Wikipedia, and the life/domain/kingdom/phylum chart that Bruce added.
The article is clear that the new discovery is that these are not related to previously known kingdoms. It could be clearer on whether the two particular species they found were newly discovered or just the ones that happened to be found by the researchers and used for analysis, but that's not really the point of the article. Wikipedia mentioned when they were named as a group, and suggested that "the group should be classified at the supra-kingdom level", which is why I said "kingdom (domain?)", based on Bruce's chart (I hadn't heard of "domain" before). |
That's kind of what I figured. If only there was an article written about this...

They discovered 10 types of the little buggers over 100 years but until DNA testing was available they didn't know what branch of the tree they belonged on.
Turns out they get their own Kingdom which is much more exclusive than our twig is. |
