When you hear the term “<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenetic_tree" style="color: #555768; outline: none; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;">evolutionary tree</a>,” you may think of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Darwin" style="color: #555768; outline: none; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;">Charles Darwin</a> and the study of the relationships between different species over the span of millions of years.</div>

<span style="background-color: #ffd966;">While the concept of an “evolutionary tree” originated in Darwin’s “<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/1228/1228-h/1228-h.htm" style="color: #555768; outline: none; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;">On the Origin of Species</a>,” one can apply this concept to anything that evolves, including viruses.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></div>

Given that the SARS-CoV-2 genome is almost twice as large as the seasonal flu genome, it seems as though the seasonal flu mutates roughly four times as fast as SARS-CoV-2.<br />
