So, basically, the animal kingdom is much newer than the archaean kingdom.

所以，动比古生菌出现的晚。

The bacterial realm, Mayr notes, consists of no more than a few thousand species while the archaean has a mere 175 named specimens, with perhaps a few thousand more to be found-but hardly more than that.

迈尔指出，微生界只由几千种组成，而原始细胞只有175种已经命名的样本，有几千种未被发现——“但不大会多于那个数字”。

The tentacled Archaean uses proteins common to multicellular organisms and might lend insight into how the latter evolved.

这种有触角的太古代微生多细胞生共有的蛋白质，这可能有助于我们了解后者进化的方式。

Back in the ancient Archaean Era, early life forms lived under a cloudy methane haze.

早在远古时代, 早期生命形式就生活在云雾弥漫的甲烷雾霾之下。

That adds in the archaean, bacterial, fungal and protist cells which occupy the mouth, gut, skin, lungs and almost every other surface, nook and cranny of the human body.

这包括了占据人体口腔、肠道、皮肤、肺部以及几乎每一个表面、角落和缝隙的古菌细胞、细菌细胞、真菌细胞和原生生细胞。

It existed 2.7 to 2.5 billion years ago, toward the very end of the Archaean Eon.

它存在于 2.7 到 25 亿年前， 接近太古宙末期。
