Phylogenetic trees, based on both ribosomal RNA genes and many protein-coding genes, as well as fossils indicate that lichens have been present on the earth for at least 600 million years.
Today about 14,000 species of fungi form lichens.

A phylogenetic tree is the history of life through time. And a cladogram is a branching diagram, usually shown as a kind of a cone-like structure, that shows how the animals are related to each other without reference to time.

A comparison of genes within a species or between different species can show similarities between protein functions, or relations between species (the use of molecular systematics to construct phylogenetic trees).

reticulation -- Joining of separate lineages on a phylogenetic tree, generally through hybridization or through lateral gene transfer. Fairly common in certain land plant clades; reticulation is thought to be rare among metazoans.

genome, and thus each copy of the gene could diverge independently. Because paralogous genes can vary within a species as much as between species, such genes are useful tools for studying protein evolution but not for constructing phylogenetic trees.

The graphic representation of a phylogeny is called a phylogenetic tree. Punctuated equilibrium: the belief that evolution proceeds by spurts of change interspersed with long periods of stasis (genetic stability) where selection favors no change.
