Charles Darwin was one of the first to show connections in the variety of life by using a rough evolutionary tree. Things have developed quite a bit since then.

Instead, Greene uses the 35-year-old evolutionary Tree of Life (TOL) classification system, which explains the diversity of life by matching and mapping relationships on a branching diagram or "tree." ...

While Darwin (1859) showed that all life on Earth is related in a single evolutionary tree, he did little to map out its branches. The anatomist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919) was one of the first people ...

"Think of it as version 1.0." Tens of thousands of smaller trees have been published over the years for select branches of the tree of life - some containing upwards of 100,000 species.

Birds are the most diverse land vertebrate on the planet, and now scientists have constructed a complete evolutionary tree of the 11,000 or so known species. This data came from hundreds of ...

The researchers also tried to link their evolutionary tree to known geological eras. On its own, the network of relationships shown by the DNA doesn’t contain any dates.
