ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

PHYLIP

Phylip is a program that scientists use to help them figure out how living things are related to each other. It looks at things like how similar their DNA is and how close related they are in terms of their family tree. Scientists can also use it to figure out how different species evolved from one another over time. You can think of it like a giant family tree that shows how certain species of animals or plants are related to each other.
