11. How do you classify?

12. 17.2 The Six Kingdoms Evolutionary Relationships Evolutionary Relationships Phylogenetic Classification Phylogenetic Classification Phylogeny – shows the evolutionary history of species Phylogeny – shows the evolutionary history of species Models Models Cladogram – model of the phylogeny of a species Cladogram – model of the phylogeny of a species Fanlike – includes both Earth’s geologic time and the probable evolution of organisms during the timespan Fanlike – includes both Earth’s geologic time and the probable evolution of organisms during the timespan

13. Cladograms
