There are many classifications of the eukaryotes which are being talked about. Each of them divides the domain Eukaryota into five groups, but there is disagreement on the details.^[4]

The Opisthokonta is thought to be a monophyletic clade, meaning all of its members came from one ancestor. Therefore, it is superior to the Unikonta as a taxonomic term.^[5][6][7]
