Constructing an Animal Phylogenetic Tree

Phylogenetic tree of life

Phylogenetic tree of life

A phylogenetic tree of life, showing the relationship between species whose genomes had been sequenced as of 2006. The very center represents the last universal ancestor of all life on earth. The different colors represent the three domains of life: pink represents eukaryota (animals, plants, and fungi); blue represents bacteria; and green represents archaea.
