Now here's a geneological tree I can get into: the entire living world.
So when did humans split from:
Chimps - 6.3 million years ago
Baboons - 30 mya
Dogs - 98 mya
Rabbit - 103 mya
Crocodiles - 324 mya
Ants - 2,500 mya

Although I enjoy looking at the Tree of Life, I always expect there to be some evolving of that tree:

I guess it would be silly to point out that humans didn't split from ants 2500 mya, but rather the fork that eventually LED to humans split that long ago.
Yeah, too pedantic.
Funny, I wasn't even looking for this! -->
