 
 <prompt> Cladistics (from Greek , "klados", i.e., "branch") na one approach to biological classification wey organisms dey categorized based on shared derived characteristics wey fit be traced to a group's most recent common ancestor and no dey present for ancestors wey dey far. Therefore, members of a group dey assume say dem get common history and dem dey considered to be closely related.

The techniques and nomenclature of cladistics don dey apply to other disciplines. (See phylogenetic nomenclature.)

The original methods wey dem use for cladistic analysis and the school of taxonomy wey dem derive from the work of the German entomologist Willi Hennig, wey refer to am as phylogenetic systematics (also the title of im 1966 book); the terms "cladistics" and "clade" dey popularized by other researchers. Cladistics for the original sense refer to a particular set of methods wey dem use for phylogenetic analysis, even though sometimes dem dey use am to refer to the whole field.

Wetin dem dey call the cladistic method now don appear as early as 1901 with work wey Peter Chalmers Mitchell do for birds and subsequently by Robert John Tillyard (for insects) for 1921, and W. Zimmermann (for plants) for 1943. The term "clade" enter for 1958 by Julian Huxley after Lucien Cuénot don coin am for 1940, "cladogenesis" for 1958, "cladistic" by Cain and Harrison for 1960, "cladist" (for an adherent of Hennig's school) by Mayr for 1965, and "cladistics" for 1966. Hennig refer to im own approach as "phylogenetic systematics". From the time wey im first formulate am till the end of the 1970s, cladistics dey compete as an analytical and philosophical approach to phylogenetic inference with phenetics and so-called evolutionary taxonomy. Phenetics dey champion for this time by the numerical taxonomists Peter Sneath and Robert Sokal and the evolutionary taxonomist Ernst Mayr. <response>: 1. Cladistics
