Did you know that the Hippopotamus is related to the Sperm Whale? Or that the Ostrich and the Tyrannosaurus have common links? Explore the connections in the natural world, and learn about evolution with this Interactive Tree of Life. Can you describe primitive life? What organisms did you read about?Click here to view the Tree Of Life video and interactive from class.
The first tree of life really told you about all of the different organisms there are. The second one didn't really as much though, but it showed the change in different organisms over time.
ReplyDeleteThe video was kind of hard to watch because it was really dark, but it still had really good information.
O:
ReplyDeletelooks interesting...I'll try it later. :D
How did a lot of mammals evolve from a "dimetrodon"? It looks more reptilish.
ReplyDeletewait if birds and mammals are warm blooded, and reptiles are cold blooded, then where did birds get there warm blood gene if there closed ancestor to mammals was a reptile/fish like organism?

i love the video. it makes me wonder...
ReplyDeleteI really loved the video!!! (The animation is great!) It's hard to believe that we're all related!
ReplyDeletewow, that is really cool, the interactive tree of life. I also like the video, it was pretty awesome. thanks leslie!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how big the tree of life is. I randomly clicked and got the duck-billed platypus, haha. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I looked at it, and we (humans) share a common ancestor with dogs! and it may be at almost the top of the tree, but time wise, it's pretty close i think!
ReplyDeleteWho was the common ancestor.
ReplyDelete-alessandro
Are plants really evolved from the same ancesto as us????
ReplyDeleteAlessandro
the tree of life is bigger than i ever thought
ReplyDeletewoah!! looks cool!!
ReplyDeletei love this tree its so cool
ReplyDeleteThat thing is so realistic. But what if we were to find diff. species among the branches, in say 2020, or what if one animal, with more sophisticated technology, is not actually what we identified it to be. Do we just switch it or add it on?
ReplyDeleteI really liked the video. I can't believe they put so much information in it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the detailed tree of life Leslie!
ReplyDeleteWow Leslie,
ReplyDeletethe interactive tree of life is so cool!
it is great to see how other organisms and humans are related and have evolved.
THanks

Hi Leslie,
ReplyDeleteThe interactive tree of life is really cool. It's a great resource for learning about evolution. I'm still just amazed at how we're all descendants of a common ancestor.
This is very interesting. It boggles my mind when I think of the fact that we all originated from a bundle of molecules!
ReplyDeleteWow. it's cool. Now I understand the tree of life better.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool =] BTW, are we related to Euglenas? Because i tracked down the line from humans and i see a Euglena.
ReplyDelete-Stanley
wow. the tree of life is really big and it is hard to believe that we are all related to a common ancestor. we have all evolved so much.
ReplyDeleteMegan 7h
how come e. coli is at the top and seems to be extinct? two ppl in ny are sick with it RIGHT NOW.
ReplyDeletei rlly like how the common ancestor was called "life on earth" lol
How do the colors associate with the organism?
ReplyDeleteor do they at all?
This is really informative, though, very different from the other one.
-Gideon
Who was the first person to construct this
ReplyDeleteamazingly informational
ReplyDeletegreat if your confused!
matthew 7!
The tree of life was so cool to navigate around! i also liked the English guy's accent. I think its funny how he packed billions of years into that 6 minute video!
ReplyDeletewhoever made this tree must have worked really hard... its os detailed! =) tnx 4 putting this up leslie
ReplyDeletegabi g 7b
I think it's interesting that in a way, all organisms are related, however distantly.
ReplyDeletethe tree of life is so cool!
ReplyDeletei wonder what the world would be like if there were only platypus and manatees.
-Demos
Wow, we really came a long way, so did the other animals. So interesting...
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo cool!! Were all related to each other in some way! Even to plants, and bacteria!! I never knew how big the tree of life was. Thanks so much Leslie!!
ReplyDelete~Mari 7h
omg!! that is soo cool, it is pretty cool how different animals are so closely related!! wow!
ReplyDeletethx soo much for posting!
I find this incredible... so many animals can evolve from only one or a few ancestors. Trying to study this deeply would take a lot of time!
ReplyDeleteIs it true that all the little trees of life you show us in class, are intertwined within this huge one? Or is it more complex?
ReplyDeleteThanks Leslie!
I can't believe how the elephant is so closely related to a type of old seal.
ReplyDelete-Shahriyar Haider
So in some ways, the jellyfish is related to the golden lion tamarin?

ReplyDeletei like the one that we did in class more than this one
It's incredible to think that such different organisms evolved from one common ancestor.
ReplyDeleteI think i'll just enlarge the pic and study it for a few hours....
ReplyDeleteMichael N. 7I
Wow!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was a really cool.
-Evelyn and Shay
how did mammals evolve from the dimetrodon. it looks like a reptile!!! did it just lose the scales and grew out hair???
ReplyDeletesee i told my mom that i was related to my dog. But she said no, so now i have proof, i also find it interesting that we are related to sooo many animals and plants.
ReplyDelete-maggie 7f
Its cool how they can put millions of years into just a few minutes
