Lifetree

Every living thing is family. Lifetree makes that history easy to explore, with an illustrated introduction to 114 selected branches of life, from bacteria to blue whales. EXPLORE THE TREE Follow a circular tree or wander a family chart. Pinch to zoom, drag to move, and open a branch or species to find its place in the story. START WITH YOU Trace the Human branch back through our shared ancestors. Discover familiar animals, plants and fungi, alongside some surprising relatives. HOW RELATED ARE WE? Choose two entries to see their common ancestor, an estimated split date, and that moment on a calendar that fits life's history into one year. LOOK CLOSER Read concise facts, see animated illustrations, follow lineages and explore sources. Dates are rounded estimates, and entries explain relevant scientific uncertainties. This is a curated introduction, rather than a complete catalogue of every species. MADE FOR ANDROID Use Light, Dark or your device's appearance. Explore offline, with all content included in the app. Illustrations follow Android's Remove animations setting, and reading text supports your device's font size. Lifetree is free, with no ads, account, tracking, subscriptions or in-app purchases. Made by Adam Jones. Questions or corrections: [email protected]
