Abstract: Tree-thinking is a required skill for evolutionary literacy, but misconceptions are frequent in interpreting phylogenetic trees. Here, an easy, cheap way of building phylogenetic trees with drinking straws is suggested. It can be used to illustrate how to build phylogenetic trees from root to tips, to rotate nodes and to collapse branches.
