Explain what Darwin meant when he talked about the common descent of all life, and what the significance is of the branch points on a phylogenetic tree. 1  When Darwin talked about the common descent of all life he was referring to the fact that all life evolved from a common ancestor.
A phylogenetic tree is the only figure in On the Origin of Species, evidence of the central importance of such trees to evolutionary biology. As discussed in Chapter 5, a phylogenetic tree is a graphical representation of the evolutionary relationships among entities that share a common ancestor.o represent such events on a phylogenetic tree, the gene phylogeny is embedded within a tree that shows the species phylogeny (Fig. 27.28). The phylogeny of the gene can be represented separately, as shown in Figure 27.28B.
