  Modern classification, based on phylogeny, no longer places humans at the centre of nature. By showing common ancestry, it outlines a tree of evolutionary relationships from which one can retrace the history of life. This book diagrams the tree of life according to various methods of classification, to show how life forms arose and developed.
