Evolution Tree mobile

A baby mobile that shows the evolutionary tree of life

An educational mobile designed as a biological phylogenetic tree, translating the evolutionary branching of life into a spatial hanging structure.

The tiers of balanced wires reflect divergence from common ancestors. Cutout silhouettes—spanning fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and humans—hang from their respective evolutionary branches.

Using the gentle drifting motion of a hanging mobile, it functions as an interior object that makes the timeline and connections of biodiversity intuitive to observe.
