Our understanding of the evolution of seaweeds and other algae is undergoing a revolution. before the 1970s, the algae were classified in the plant kingdom but, over the last five decades, numerous scientific studies on these endlessly fascinating organisms have generated a wealth of new data and a new classification scheme that, in reflecting their evolutionary history, assigns various algal.
