Obazoa is a clade (a group of plants or animals that share an ancestor). It is a Unikont. Unikonts are one of the five superkingdoms in the classification of eukaryotes.
The Obazoa is made up of Breviatea, Apusomonadida and Opisthokonta. It does not include Amoebozoa, because that is a different clade. The connections between opisthokonts, breviates and apusomonads are not well known yet. Probably the Breviatea are the most basic of the three groups.[1][2][3] RNA phylogenies (evolution clues) do not give much evidence that Obazoa is a clade.[4] This could still mean Obazoa is from a very old ancestor, and there are not many clues left (because of its age).
