The TREE OF LIFE is one of the most familiar of the Sacred Geometry Symbols. The structure of the Tree of Life is connected to the sacred teachings of the Jewish Kabbalah but can be seen 3,000 years earlier in Egypt.
The structure pattern of the tree of life clues on the key ecological issues; hence knowing the fractal dimension is the fundamental question in understanding the tree of life. Yet the fractal dimension of the tree of life remains unclear since the scale of the tree of life has hypergrown ...
Resolving the structure of the eukaryotic tree of life remains one of the most important and challenging tasks facing biologists. The notion of six eukaryotic ‘supergroups’ has recently gained some acceptance, and several papers in 2007 suggest that resolution of higher taxonomic levels is possible...
In the early stages of the development of terrestrial life, land plants were rootless and leafless. Since they had their origins in aqueousenvironments, they did not require the specialized conducting and supporting tissues afforded byrootsandstems, nor did they require localized regions ofcarbohydrate...
The very nature of the evolutionary history of organisms and the limitations of current phylogenetic reconstruction methods mean that part of the tree of life might prove difficult, if not impossible, to resolve with confidence. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution...
Gene surveys suggest the existence of an enormous number of branches2, but even an approximation of the full scale of the tree has remained elusive. Recent depic- tions of the tree of life have focused either on the nature of deep evolutionary relationships3–5 or on the known, well-...
The early history of life harbours many unresolved evolutionary questions, none more important than the genomic origin and cellular evolution of eukaryotes. An issue central to eukaryote origin concerns the position of eukaryotes in the tree of life and the relationship of the host lineage that acqu...

These methods have allowed us to generate new hypotheses with regard to the relationship between geochemistry and species distributions in the RT, as well as challenge the current perception of the relative contributions of different domains of life to the overall diversity in this extreme environment...
