When using a cladistic approach to systematics, (4) Shared derived characters are considered most important for classification.
- In systematics, the classification of organisms is done on the basis of their similarities and evolutionary trends.
- Animals showing similar characteristics are kept under the same taxa.
- Organisms belonging to the same taxa also share a common ancestor.
- For example, humans and gorillas are both placed under a common group named Primata because of striking similarities in their chromosomes and skeletal structures. They both are believed to have a common ancestor.
