Hemimastigotes, first observed in the 1800s, were previously classified as a phylum within a much larger group known as a super supra-kingdom, though it was unclear where exactly they belonged.

It is not a new branch on the tree of life. It was already there, but “scientists” didn’t know about it.
Their “tree of life” was wrong. Fix it, Mindy Weisberger, and don’t write stupid misleading headlines.

That's not a new organism. That's a parachute for the E. coli 101st airborne.
