Phylogenomics has enriched our understanding that the Tree of Life can have network-like or reticulate structures among some taxa and genes. Non-vertical modes evolution—such as hybridization/introgression horizontal gene transfer—deviate from a strictly bifurcating tree model, causing non-treelike patterns. Here, we present brief overview phylogenomic workflow for inferring organismal histories compare methods detecting evolution. We discuss how timing coalescent events help disentangle introgression incomplete lineage sorting transfer determine relative speciation events. In doing so, identify pitfalls certain to extend their utility across Life. Workflows, methods, future directions discussed herein underscore need embrace evolutionary patterns rates events, providing clearer life’s history.
