This is probably one of the best resources on the internet. One day, perhaps all of knowledge will be as accessible as this.

The website is very well presented and easy to navigate. I've already learned a lot just by briefly browsing through it this morning. If it's funded by the National Science Foundation and managed at the UA, it should also be well maintained and up to date. Thanks for posting that.

Nice link. The biggest contribution of evolutionary theory is the clarification of taxonomy. Entities are grouped (as much as possible) according to their ancestry.

One criticism: when I follow the hierarchy onto a page called "Deuterostomia," I expect to be told what a deuterostome IS. Instead, I have to roll off and Google up
another resource. Many of the pages are still very spare right now and are just links on a skeleton.
