Article Synopsis
- Scientists study the tree of life, where some smaller groups of creatures, called clades, don't have many relatives left and look very old, like living fossils.
- A special group called Amblypygi, or whip spiders, has been around for a long time, but only one of its relatives is still alive today, and it hasn't been seen since 1899.
- A recent discovery of a new whip spider species in Colombia helped scientists create a family tree for these spiders and showed that finding more ancient species is important for understanding how living things are related.
