ANT333Y1 Chapter Notes - Chapter 5: Phylip, Cladistics
Document Summary
Evolution the sum total of all the genetic modifications that occur in a population or a species overtime. Basal primate the earliest of its kind, a much generalized form that over time may evolve into something more specialized, showing more derived traits; they are all extinct taxa. Crown primate the latest form in a singular or monophyletic lineage in which derived traits are more common such as extant monkeys and apes. The most commonly used method in evolutionary phylogenetics is based on cladistics analysis: preformed using computer programs such as paup (phylogenetic analysis using. Based on evaluating the most parsimonious or most likely and least complex phylogenetic relationship based on traits included.
