The tree of life, illustrated!

(Science Week, Day 1!)

And since the first day of Science Week is Darwin Day, I try to keep things biological, so today's selection is a fantastic rendering of life on Earth in summary. Only a handful of species could fit, of course, but the organism-scape is easy to eyeball and compare the distance of genetic relationships. (Tiktaalik made it in.) Sadly, I don't have a source or credit for this, but the file is still there after nine years and I only recently discovered it.

Remember: if you want to share any cool, science-related things of your own this week, please link me to your posts! Use the tag #ScienceWeek (hash or otherwise) if you're posting on a platform that uses such things.
