As of February 23, 2018, it continues to work as the "Tree of Evolution" brand and company in the state of Texas, USA. History The foundations of the Evolution Tree were laid during a METU Biology and Genetics Society (BIYOGEN) weekly meeting held in September 2010. At the meeting, Çağrı Mert Bakırcı, who participated in BYOGEN for the first time, told the chairman of the Board of the period about the idea of establishing a new evolutionary biology formation and received positive feedback. Upon this positive feedback, it was decided to implement the project in a short time and people who might want to be particularly interested in the Theory of Evolution met with Bakırcı. Bakırcı, who met Babür Erdem and Güngör Budak in this process, drew a broad road map in a short time and brainstormed with other possible members of the team, and took the necessary decisions regarding the vision, mission, content, and plans of the organization. The "Tree of Evolution", which will be the name of the group that decided to move forward as a science and enlightenment movement, was recommended by Erdem after a few days of reflection and discussion and was accepted in a short time. Thereupon, the Tree of Evolution was officially established on November 5, 2010, in METU, Ankara, with its first meeting under the leadership of Bakırcı. The team started broadcasting with the Facebook page it created when Facebook was first established. It started to be supported financially and academically for the first time by the European Society
