A phylogenetic tree, also known as a cladogram, is a diagram that proposes how different types of living things are related. If you follow the lines connecting any two groups on a tree, you'll get an idea of how closely related they are. Tree of Life diagrams are phylogenetic trees that propose what are the evolutionary relationships for all species of life. Different software programs allow scientists to build Trees of Life in different arrangements so they can better understand how species are related.
