Classification

Step-by-step explanation:

Evolutionary classification differs from traditional classification in a way that evolutionary classification is classification based on common ancestors whereas traditional classification is classification based on similarities and differences

Evolutionary classification is the strategy of grouping organisms together based in their evolutionary history whereas traditional classification classify according to overall similarities which can be misleading, for example, dolphins could be wrongly classified as fishes because they have fins, but actually dolphins are mammals and not fishes
