The Phylogenetic tree
A phylogenetic tree, also known as an evolutionary tree or a tree of life, is a diagram that depicts the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms or species. It is based on the idea that all living organisms have a common ancestor and that the history of life can be represented as a branching tree.
Phylogenetic trees are constructed based on comparisons of genetic or morphological data between different organisms. The branches on the tree represent the evolutionary relationships between different groups of organisms, with the length of the branches reflecting the amount of time that has elapsed since the groups diverged from their common ancestor. The nodes on the tree represent the most recent common ancestor of the groups that diverged from it.
Phylogenetic trees are used by biologists to study the evolutionary history of different groups of organisms, to identify evolutionary trends and patterns, and to understand the relationships between different species. They are also used to study the evolutionary origins of traits and to infer the evolutionary history of different traits or characteristics.
Phylogenetic trees are a powerful tool for understanding the diversity of life on Earth and have helped to reveal many of the key patterns and processes that have shaped the history of life.

The binomial system.
Binomial system, the species name is written in lower case after the genus name, which is written first and capitalizes the first letter. Both names are usually italicized or, if handwritten, underlined. As an illustration, the term "humans" refers to the genus Homo and the species Sapiens.
Because it offers a uniform method of referring to species and prevents confusion caused by common names that may differ between languages or locations, the binomial system is employed in scientific communication. Also, it represents the evolutionary links between species since it is generally accepted that species that belong to the same genus are more closely related than those that do not.

Biodiversity
Biodiversity is all the different kinds of life you'll find in one area—the variety of animals, plants, fungi, and even microorganisms like bacteria that make up our natural world. Each of these species and organisms work together in ecosystems, like an intricate web, to maintain balance and support life.
