Quote (Alan Fox @ Feb. 27 2011,13:46)
Are extremophiles our direct ancestors? Are we Archaeans?

The tree of life website http://tolweb.org/Life_on_Earth/1 indicates that eukaryotes (don't ask me how to pronounce that) are closer to archaea than they are to bacteria.

There is (or at least was when that web page was last updated) disagreement over whether eukaryotes are closer to one kind of archaea than to another kind of it.
