What aspect of evolution does a phylogenetic classification represent more clearly than a Linnaean classification does?
What will be an ideal response?
The branching sequences of evolutionary lineages are represented more clearly by phylogenetic classifications than by Linnaean classifications. In the Linnaean classification of vertebrates, for example, reptiles (class Reptilia) and birds (class Aves) appear to be equivalent hierarchical levels. In contrast, a phylogenetic classification shows that birds are a derived group of reptiles.
