How is evolution linked to classification?

1.	How is evolution linked to classification?
Answer» Classification is the arrangement of organisms into groups on the basis of their characteristics. Characteristics are details of appearance or behaviour. Classification based on evolution is considered the most advanced and effective. The classification of organisms/ species into groups is a reflection of their common ancestors and hence evolutionary relationship also. Classification done on the basis of evolution is known as phylogenetic classification. Hence they are closely related.
