In this guide, we unravel the story of life's evolutionary history and the tools scientists use to classify species, as outlined in Chapter 26 of Campbell Biology . Phylogeny and systematics are crucial for understanding biological diversity and the relationships that connect all living things. Watch the full video summary below and subscribe for more structured, chapter-by-chapter biology study guides! Introduction: Understanding Phylogeny and Systematics Phylogeny is the evolutionary history of species, depicting how they are related through common ancestry. Systematics is the science of classifying organisms based on these relationships, helping us organize biological diversity into a meaningful framework. Classification Systems: From Linnaeus to the Three-Domain Model Binomial Nomenclature: Develope...
