Phylogenetic tree

A phylogenetic tree is a graphic that shows how creatures have evolved over time. Phylogenetic trees are only that: theories, not facts. A phylogenetic tree's branching pattern indicates how species or other groupings emerged from a common ancestor. Two species are more linked in trees if they have a recent common ancestor, and less related if they share a distant common ancestor. Phylogenetic trees can be drawn in a variety of ways. The information carried by a tree does not change as it is…

Phylogenetic tree

This diagram of an animal phylogenetic tree depicts the formal study of organisms and their evolutionary history about one. Phylogenetic trees are most commonly used to describe the relationships between species. They clarify whether certain traits are homologous or homoplasy found in the common ancestor as a result of divergent evolution sometimes referred to as analogous: a character not found in a common ancestor but whose function developed independently in two or more organisms through…

This primate evolution phylogenetic tree shows how common ancestors relate to species. The phylogeny of primates is depicted in the tree below. The traditional classification of primates into prosimians and anthropoids is included at the top of the phylogenetic tree for comparison. Tarsiers were previously classified with the prosimian lemurs and lorises, but they are now classified separately. This is because, as shown in this primate evolution phylogenetic tree diagram, tarsiers shared a…
