Race Evolution (Materia)

Experts argue over the proper phylogenetic tree for the five humanoid races of Materia.

Analysis
This tree is built based on the many physical traits shared between Humans and Lycans. This tree assumes that the shifter genes in Lycans and Drakes evolved in two separate lineages as a result of convergent evolution.

Analysis
This tree assumes that the shifter genes in Lycans and Drakes are orthologs, being inherited from a common ancestor, and that Humans, Divinities, and Vampires are a monophyletic group.
