The evidence for this idea is overwhelming ranging from evolutionary biology, to genetics, to molecular biology. And yet we seldom take this idea literally and most of us hardly ever look at other organisms on the planet as the (very distant) cousins that they in fact are. Here is a great website that enables you to explore the relations between all organisms in our huge family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"embedly-card\"><h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onezoom.org\/\">OneZoom Tree of Life Explorer<\/a><\/h4><p>An interactive map of the evolutionary relationships between 2,235,362 species of life on our planet.
