This chapter delves into the methods and findings of phylogenetic analysis to classify organisms into related groups based on shared evolutionary history. Explore the intricate paths from the universal ancestor of all life to Homo sapiens. Learn about monophyletic groups, maximum parsimony method, and the impact of long branches on analysis accuracy. Discover the relationships among primates, vertebrates, and more through molecular data and morphological characters. Uncover the complexities of gene trees, rapid evolutionary radiation, and hybridization in evolution.
