How can I use it?
You can study the interactive Tree of Life as you watch the associated video, swapping
between the two as often as you like.
Fly around to explore the interactive and get closer than ever before to the origins
of life on earth. Click on a species to view its information. Select two organisms
to reveal the evolutionary relationship between them.
Within the interactive, read specially written texts on the different species featured,
and browse galleries of animated and still images. It's also your gateway to resources
elsewhere on the web to help you find out even more about the organisms featured.
The Tree of Life is an open source project, so you can edit and use all the files
from which the tree is built - including image, XML and animation files - under
the terms of our Creative Commons licence.
