Have you seen the one that was constructed from DNA studies that backward studied small modifications in DNA and how it resulted in evolution from mutation to mutation?

I'll see if I can find it if you don't have it.

I found this one that shows the complexity of birds and the mutation trace for them.

The other images I've found are far to large to post. This is the smallest I could find but it helps demonstrate the complexity.
