In the same vein I would like to challenge the tree model of life, of species, and of any genetic variation.

The reality is much closer to trunks that merge and branch, similar to git.

This applies to the origin of life, to differences between species, differences between populations, also to human language classification. Also to the origin of humans.

The tree model I would “consider harmful”. It affects society and policy in a strong way.
