Paul Nelson: The same will be the case for the clades nesting within Eukarya, if their defining characters are inferred to originate not in discrete cells, but communally (whatever that means — I don't know, except that Woese disallows inferences to discrete ancestors).
-
In short, Eukarya is not a tree with a discrete root, arising from a unique cell, but a forest.

In terms of the graph paper exercise I suggested, this can be represented by drawing lines of ancestry from any point (i.e., cell, at a vertex) in Eukarya through the horizontal or ground interval proposed by Oleg.
