All living things are connected, see this in one interactive exploration of the Tree of Life, a map of more than two billion species that live on this one planet.
Lifemap is an interactive tool to explore the tree of life. The concept used in Lifemap is similar to the one used in cartography with tools like Google Maps© or OpenStreetMap: exploring is done by zooming and panning. The current tree contains 2 305 164 species: 13 780 Archaea, 594 984 Bacteria and 1 696 400 Eukaryotes. It is based on the taxonomy published by the NCBI (public domain) and updated regularly.
All the nodes in the tree are clickable. It displays information (description and picture) concerning the taxa (retrieved from the Wikipedia page, Lifemap by Damien de Vienne / CNRS is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.
There are many ways you can explore this map, by zooming in from the full map down to find a particular species of bacteria, plant, or roam to find even somewhere, in there, an curious one such as human beings.
Or if you know a particular genus, like one of my favorite cacti that grows in my yard, Escobaria, you can search and find it in the map.
