Phylogenetic
Science dealing with relatedness of species
Taxonomy
Science of naming species
Cladistics
Philosophy of taxonomy based on phylogenetics
Homology
Relatedness by inheritance
Analogy
Relatedness by other factors
Monophyletic
Ancestor and all of it’s descendants
Paraphyletic
Ancestor and some but not all of it’s descendants
Evolution
Change in population over time
