By analyzing and comparing similarities and differences between different species, biologists were able to construct phylogenetic trees that outline the path that species took in their evolution over time. The broad "Tree of Life" organizes organisms based on these similarities and differences, as well as highlights certain evolutionary milestones such as the endosymbiotic emergence of chloroplasts.
