The problem with a “”tree of life” is that a normal tree does not change much from branch to branch, but the history of jellyfish, water bears, and weasels is just so different that the connection is possibly better seen as a river flowing through many landscapes than as a tree. In fact, the tree is beginning to look more like a river all the time.
Great show here too.
