After splitting events, new taxa (species, eg in eukaryotes) that survive seem to have most novelties in place from their very inception. Perhaps less so for larger clades—which are not dynamic systems like species?

Yes—I totally agree. Ideas are “ cultural things” of course—with beginnings, histories and potentially ends (though susceptible to rampant independent origination and reinvention)—and certainly evolve!

Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because
