Phenetics: Current usage, Difference from cladistics & Overview

In biology, phenetics (/fɪˈnɛtɪks/; from Ancient Greek φαίνειν (phainein) 'to appear'), also known as taximetrics, is an attempt to classify organisms based on overall similarity, usually with respect to morphology or other observable traits, regardless of their phylogeny or evolutionary relation. It is related closely to numerical taxonomy which is…
