Preferred term

phylogeny  

Definition

  • A phylogeny is an evolutionary history of an organism or group of organisms; it may be interpreted as a genealogical tree, an ancestor and descendant lineage, or as systematic relationships of form within a classification scheme. Phylogenies are studied principally in the fields of phylogenet-ics and systematics. [Source: Encyclopedia of Time: Science, Philosophy, Theology, & Culture; Phylogeny]
