Cladogram

A cladogram (from Greek κλάδος klados "branch" and γραμμα gramma "character") is a diagram used in cladistics to show evolutionary relations (common descent) between groups of organisms. Cladograms are a type (subset) of phylogenetic trees that do not normally show evolutionary time but are required to meet specific criteria defined by cladistics. Like…
