A team of scientists unveiled a new tree of life, a diagram outlining the evolution of all living things. The researchers found that bacteria make up most of life's branches. And they found that much of that diversity has been waiting in plain sight to be discovered, dwelling in river mud and meadow soils.

"It is a momentous discovery - an entire continent of life-forms," said Eugene V. Koonin of the National Center for Biotechnology Information, who was not involved in the study.

The study was published in the journal Nature Microbiology.

In his 1859 book "On the Origin of Species," Charles Darwin envisioned evolution like a branching tree. The "great Tree of Life," he said, "fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth, and covers the surface with its ever branching and beautiful ramifications."

Ever since, biologists have sought to draw the tree of life. The invention of DNA sequencing revolutionized that project, because scientists could find the relationship among species encoded in their genes.

In the 1970s, Carl Woese of the University of Illinois and his colleagues published the first "universal tree of life" based on this approach. They presented the tree as three great trunks.

Our own trunk, known as eukaryotes, includes animals, plants, fungi and protozoans. A second trunk included many familiar bacteria like Escherichia coli.

With the discovery of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid, and the technology to sequence the genomes of both humans and animals, it is no surprise to find that we have a lot in common with our animal friends. How much humans have in common with animals may come as a bit of a shock.

The race to sequence the human genome - Tien Nguyen

In 1990, The Human Genome Project proposed to sequence the entire human genome over 15 years with $3 billion of public funds. Then, seven years before its scheduled completion, a private company called Celera announced that they could accomplish the same goal in just three years at a fraction of the cost.
