Carl Richard Woese (July 15, 1928 â?? December 30, 2012) is famous for being the one to define the archaea as a kingdom of life. His efforts to clarify the evolution and diversity of microbes proved invaluable to ecologists and conservationists. Woese's work on archaea is also significant in its implications for the search for life on other planets, as organisms similar to archaea that exist in extreme environments may have developed on other planets which harbor conditions conducive to extremophile life.
