Best Sleep Podcast: Fall Asleep to Phylogenetics

In this episode of the I Can’t Sleep Podcast, drift off while diving into the riveting world of phylogenetics—because nothing screams “sweet dreams” like evolutionary trees and species relationships. Did you know scientists basically play a giant game of “who’s related to whom” but with DNA? Thrilling stuff, I know. So, settle in as I lull you to sleep with tales of the tree of life—just don’t expect it to leaf you wide awake. Happy sleeping!

“In biology, phylogenetics (/ˌfaɪloʊdʒəˈnɛtɪks, -lə-/) is the study of the evolutionary history of life using genetics, which is known as phylogenetic inference. It establishes the relationship between organisms with the empirical data and observed heritable traits of DNA sequences, protein amino acid sequences, and morphology. The results are a phylogenetic tree—a diagram setting the hypothetical relationships between organisms and their evolutionary history.”
