I built an interactive tree of life you can actually explore
Been working on this for a while as a side project: https://evotree.life
It's the whole tree rendered in one canvas — 46,167 taxa, 32,118 of them species, and about 37,000 carry a photograph. You can zoom from LUCA down to a single species, click anything to open a card, filter to one subtree, or pin two taxa side by side to see where they actually join.
Fair warning: the card summaries are LLM-written from those sources and not expert-reviewed. There are errors in there. If you find one, I genuinely want to hear it — I have a repair path for exactly this!
*Disclaimer - no ads / profit here, just wanted to share what I made and see how far it can go 😂
