Cladistics
is always a great word to know.
So is continuous variation. Does it mean:
| a group of individuals or species having a common ancestry |
| variation in traits such as body weight or height in which a series of types are distributed on a continuum, not grouped into discrete categories |

cladistics  (klə-dĭs'tĭks) Pronunciation Key
A system of classification based on the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary history of groups of organisms, rather than purely on shared features. Many modern taxonomists prefer cladistics to the traditional hierarchies of Linnean classification systems. Compare Linnean. |
