SciShow: The Tree of Life Is Messed Up

Teacher or professor: SciShow
Subject: Science
Content of the Lesson: Taxonomy is a powerful tool, and one that modern biology wouldn't be able to function without. But trying to shoehorn the messy, complicated web of interrelationships that is biology into neat boxes has resulted in a pretty messy tree of life.
