Cladistics

Cladistics (Greek: clados = branch) or phylogenetic systematics (Greek: phylon = race and genetic = birth) is a branch of biology that determines the evolutionary relationships of living things based on derived similarities.

Cladistics and Classification
Except for his last sentence where he used the word "evolved," Charles Darwin never mentioned "evolution" in The Origin of Species. Instead, he used the phrase "descent with modification.

Cladistics
The practice of classifying organisms based on their phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history. Its goal is to delineate 'natural' groups which reflect 'true' relationships.

Cladistics
Ideally, a system of classification should reflect the genealogies of the organisms. Darwin realized this when he wrote: "our classifications will come, as far as they can be so made, genealogies".

In most cladistics-based schools of taxonomy, the existence of paraphyletic groups in a classification is regarded as an error.
