CIPRES Phylogeny Exhibition • What is the Tree of Life (ToL)? • What does “phylogenetic relationship” mean? • How are we able to infer phylogenetic relationships (i.e., using what logic)? • How big is the ToL? • How hard is it (computationally, and in terms of the data necessary) to infer how species are related to one another? • How much do we know now about the ToL? • Are we finding any major surprises about the ToL? • Of what real use is knowledge of the ToL?
