Organigram

A vast evolutionary lineage traces the development of various life forms from a common ancestor, highlighting significant milestones such as the emergence of bacteria with peptidoglycan in their cell walls and the divergence of eukaryotic organisms characterized by a defined nucleus and organelles.
