What is phylogeny?

Phylogeny is the evolutionary history and relationships among a group of organisms, typically represented in the form of a phylogenetic tree. It shows how different species are related to each other and how they have evolved over time from a common ancestor. Phylogenetic analysis is used to study the evolutionary relationships between organisms and to understand the patterns of evolution and diversification in the natural world.

Phylogeny refers to the evolutionary history and relationships among various species or groups of organisms. It involves the study of the branching patterns of lineages over time, tracing their shared ancestry and diversification into different species. Phylogeny aims to reconstruct the tree of life, understanding the evolutionary processes that have shaped the diversity of life on Earth.
