Does anyone have a diagram showing the development of the various demoninations of Christianity and how they developed over time?

I am sure it will remind me of the classic evolutionary tree of life. I want to see the schism between the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churchs. I also interested in the schism between the Roman Catholic and Lutheran Churches. It will be interesting to see how Protestantism branched out so much.

Demoninations of christianity! Love it, Robert. (I suffer from mild dyslexia, so I can do that sort of thing as well... but not so well.)

I think this is what you're looking for. I was really curious to see what it looked like, and the unlikely search of "tree christianity" in google brought me to the link.

I wonder if there's anything that shows the various memetic mutations.

I also wonder if there's anything that show extinct memes?

Assuming a big bang or single starting point model!

A whole series of different beliefs got pulled and pushed and co-evolved and probably had a unified view of history imposed.

In medieval textbooks, the all-important Arbor porphyriana
("Porphyrian Tree") illustrates his logical classification of substance.
To this day, taxonomists benefit from Porphyry's Tree in classifying
everything from plants to animals to insects to whales.
