Cladistics
Cladistics is the method of classifying organisms into groups called clades.
A clade (Greek = branch) is a group of organisms with a common ancestor and all its descendants (and nothing else). Such a clade is monophyletic.[1] The term 'clade' was coined by English biologist Julian Huxley.
