Evogeneao tree

The Evogeneao Tree of Life diagram, and the generation counting technique used herein, was inspired by Dr. Richard Dawkins’ wonderful book The Ancestor's Tale. The smallest branches are purely illustrative and help to suggest the effect of mass extinctions on diversity, and changes in diversity through time. The Evogeneao Tree of Life diagram is NOT intended to be a scholarly reference tool! It is intended to be an easy-to-understand illustration of the core evolution principle; we are related not only to every living thing, but also to everything that has ever lived on Earth.
