Magnificent piece of software, brilliantly intuitive visualisation of the tree of life
Prof. Richard Dawkins, University of Oxford
I love the OneZoom tool - really easy to use and the visualization is great. I've just shared it with my 13 year old, who is a science geek - he loved it and is still playing with it!
