"“Archaea are small cells, and the cell is the organism and the organism is the cell, so single celled organisms. And they are wonderful, in a way, because there are things that they share with us, and there are also things in which they share with bacteria, and in other ways, they're completely otherworldly. And so it's as if one had sort of come across an organism from another planet here on earth, in many aspects of their biology.”
This was Lynn Margulis (Carl Sagan's ex-wife) field of research.
