Things have been a bit quiet here lately. Let's start up a fight.
What are your views on the root of the Eukaryotic tree?
In the Unikonts, Bikonts, between them, don't recognise either as any valid group, etc?
Feel free to use abrasive language when defending your position. TC-S-like hyperbolic assertions are perfectly welcome to spice up the discussion.
If you're totally out of the loop (lucky bastard), how about this random more general argument: Holophyly or monophyly? =P
(I find this one always works when you wanna start up a lively discussion/raging war with some taxonomy/phylogeny friends...)
Also, see some musings in the comments for the previous post.
