Primate relationships phylogeny
This primate phylogram shows a small set of representative taxa and the nesting of ape clades. A phylogram uses branch lengths, so the scale is labelled in substitutions per site. Colored clade highlights make the ape and great-ape groupings easy to identify while preserving the tree structure. For research work, replace this illustrative topology with a tree inferred from the relevant sequence data. Before using the layout in a build or document, compare every label with the source requirements and update the drawing when parts, conditions, or materials change. The example is deliberately small so the essential relationships remain readable, easy to review with collaborators, and ready to extend with the details required for the actual project.

Scenario
A biology class needs a simple primate relationship tree.
Key decisions
- Tree type: A phylogram uses displayed branch lengths.
- Taxa: Representative primates keep the example readable.
- Highlights: Clade labels show the nested ape groups.
When to reuse this
Use as a visual teaching example, not as an inferred analysis from a sequence alignment.
