Document Summary
Biology module 3- lecture 6 (textbook chapter 19) Naming and tying it to their evolutionary history. Taxonomy is ordered division of organisms based on a set of characteristics what we see but the evolutionary history. Systematic way of studying the diversity of life and evolutionary. Classification is lumping organisms into similar groups lumpers and splitters . Phylogeny is what we used to make the tree of life incorporates not just relationships incorporate time lines. is the genus and species latinized, italicized or underlined. Move from very specific, to more broad there is more and more animals. Now scientists use systematics organize evolutionary, morphological, etc. Diagram suggests that humans are more realated to fungi then plants. Goals of systematics is to reconstruct evolutionary history and make a new classification of more than just morphological. Gives us targets that we should focus more on. Analogous relationships characteristics that are the same, or look the same.
