It seems like you are presenting statements about the differences between family trees and phylogenetic trees. However, most of the statements you've provided reflect misunderstandings about the definitions and scopes of these two types of trees. Here's some clarification:

1. **Family Tree vs. Phylogenetic Tree**:
- A **family tree** typically represents the relationships among individuals within a single species or lineage, focusing on familial relationships such as parentage, marriage, and descent.
- A **phylogenetic tree** represents evolutionary relationships between different species, showing how they have diverged from common ancestors over time. It includes multiple species and illustrates their evolutionary history.

2. **Inclusion of Species**:
- The statement about a family tree including only humans while a phylogenetic tree includes only nonhumans is incorrect. Both trees can include humans (in the case of family trees, exclusively) and can include nonhumans (in the case of phylogenetic trees, which can encompass many species).

3. **Scope of Species**:
- The idea that a family tree includes multiple species while a phylogenetic tree includes one subset of a single species is also misleading. A family tree focuses on relationships within a single species, while a phylogenetic tree includes multiple species and their evolutionary connections.

4. **Types of Organisms**:
- Both family trees and phylogenetic trees can include various groups of organisms, such as animals or plants. However, family trees are generally confined to a particular species, while phylogenetic trees show broader evolutionary relationships.

In summary, family trees are about individual lineages or species, while phylogenetic trees depict broader evolutionary relationships among multiple species, including both humans and nonhumans.
