I was thinking that there should be a topic about the evolutionary history of music, so I have been working on this diagram.

Many studies have been devoted to that and many diagrams have already been made of it.
Also, your schema is wrong. Progressive and black metal have been around for longer than 1990 for example  .

According to wikipedia, progressive metal emerged around 1990 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_metal). Black metal seems to have emerged a bit earlier, around 1985, so you are right about that.
That's because you only read the first lines of that wikipedia article. It was around before that but didn't become popular until the 90's.

Whilst the genre emerged towards the late-1980s, it was not until the 1990s that progressive metal achieved commercial success.
Well, if you want to consider the roots from the 60s and 70s as progressive metal, maybe we also shouldn't differentiate between homo erects and modern humans?
Progressive metal's roots can be traced back to the late 1960s and early 1970s british rock scene, to bands such as Keith Emerson's The Nice and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Procol Harum, Atomic Rooster, Deep Purple and others which incorporated keyboards and classical instrumentation into the heaviness of their proto-hard rock style of music.
If you look on the wikipedia page for each of these groups, you will see that none of them are categorized as progressive metal, but rather as progressive rock, which is a different category.
Even the bands that are categorized as playing progressive metal, didn't necessarily play progressive metal in the beginning. The first albums of Dream Theater for example, weren't particularly progressive.
BTW: I found this page, to learn more about electronic music: http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/music.swf
The guy that has made the webpage has an amusingly large knowledge about electronic music. In each category he has multiple songs, and when I check them in spotify, many of them have very few listeners.

As an avid listener to progressive rock and metal I should tell you that most artists that make progressive metal also make progressive rock .
Check devin townsend, ayreon, opeth etc.
But progressive rock isn't even on your list 
And.. putting the origin of a style after it was conceived first is really a slap in the face of the artists who started the genre.

Good luck with your diagram. I'm sorry for assuming that you wanted feedback.

Why is there no link from Punk to Electronic music? The New Romantics evolved out of punk in 1980
