The Tree of Life represents the interconnectedness of all living things on Earth, illustrating how every organism, whether alive or extinct, shares an ancestral lineage. This project was undertaken to explore where we came from, the various branches of life, and how different organisms, including Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia, relate to one another. By understanding these relationships, we gain insight into the diversity of life and the shared origins that connect us all.
