Reply to comment by Prae_ in How do we know the last common ancestor between two animals? by CaptainHindsight92

Thank you for reply it was very helpful! You don't have any recommendations to read about this do you? Where would I find information on fossil information, generation time and gene evolution? Thanks again!

Most of what I said comes from scientific reviews, so not super layman friendly.

The tree of life web project is maybe something I can point to if you are interested in phylogeny.

Otherwise, all I can say is look at papers using BEAST2, which is, from what I understand, the main tool used for inferring a philogenetic tree from DNA sequences.
