Form, Time and Space

“The affinities of all the beings of the same class have sometimes been represented by a great tree...the…Tree of Life, which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth, and covers the surface with its ever branching and beautiful ramifications.”

Charles Darwin 1859. On the origin of species. Ch. 5 Laws of Variation.
