Contradiction in description of image[edit]

"This is a image of the more or less current tree of life showing the 5 kingdoms and how genetic inheritance is now thought to be not exactly vertical but also includes horizontal gene inheritance via at least virus infection and maybe other routes such as the incorporation of mitochondria and plastids as symbiotic partners within Eukaryote cells" (Italics added).

If it shows the 5 Kingdoms as opposed to the 3 Domains, it's not remotely current at this point. The 3 Domains have been conclusively accepted as such for quite some time now. This should be corrected. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 00:57, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
