This Figure from Simpson and Roger (2002) shows the evolution of the tree of life over the decade 1993-2002.  During that time the Archaezoa Hypothesis flourished and died.  The idea of a tree of life with a crown of derived taxa gave way to a more shrubby appearance, which was further developed by Baldauf (2003), Keeling (2004), and Palmer et al. (2004).
