Evolutionary relationships

Systematics deal with the evolutionary relationships between organisms. Systematists try to determine which organisms share a recent ancestry with others. They are concerned about the number of evolutionary changes that may have occurred between ancestries. Taxonomy deals only with classifying and naming organisms.
