Advanced, mutations that occurred after the split
Plesiomorphy
Primitive, older ancestors, found in sister outgroup
Parsimony
Simplest solution
Max likelihood
Equal now innovations
Cladists
Willi hennig 1950. Based classification on homologies and Apomorphic characters only. Divergent evolution, cladogram
Evolutionists
Ernst Haeckel 1868. Based classification on homologies, but used plesiomorphic traits. Divergent evolution. Phylogenic tree
Pheneticists
Robert Sokoll 1970. Seek objectivity, treat all characters alike:quantitative classificatiom. Convergent evolution, dendogram
DNA - DNA hybridization
The faster two strands of DNA zip together, the more closely related the two species are
