For given species or groups of species, some taxonomists and evolutionary biologists disagree on which common ancestry and evolutionary relationships may exist. They may hypothesize different common ancestors (nodes) or descendants (clades). Still, where fossil, or phenotype, or DNA sequence, or other factors make decisions difficult in preparing the cladogram, researchers commonly ensure their interpretation is the most
