Family tree illustrated

hello
is there a family tree, or words that would illustrate the family tree of,
Unix -> Linux
As i would understand Unix, it is a OS.

And Linux is a ?, is Linux a OS or a sub structure inside of the Unix OS ?.


Have you ever seen one of those family tree`s where ma and pa are shown at the top and the next line show the children and the next line show their children`s children`s.


Thank you
