[On the path to creation of genealogical (natural) classification of organisms]
Abstract:
C. Woose and his followers have realized the main dream of systematicians and laid the basement for creation of such classification of organisms which whoud allow for their genealogical affinity. Departing from the achievement of molecular biology and genomics and using their own results of sequences of 16S pRNA and their accurate analysis they have constructed the trees of the most probable phylogeny of microorganisms and divided everything living on the Earth into three primary empires (domains): Bacteria, Archaea and Eukarya. These achievements were accepted ambiguously and even negatively by classical systematicians of Darwin's school. The paper deals with the situation in the camp of systematicians, with their objective and subjective approaches to development of this science. Despite the animosity of classical systematicians to the above achievements there is sureness that new achievement will go along the path shown by C. Woose to complete reaching the aim--creation of genealogical (natural) classification of all organisms populating the Earth.
