Cladistic refers to the study of the evolutionary relationships between organisms based on the sharing or lack of shared derived characteristics, known as synapomorphies. In cladistics, the goal is to reconstruct the evolutionary history of a group of organisms by analyzing the presence or absence of these shared characteristics, with the aim of deducing the most recent common ancestor of the group. The scientific discipline uses a strict, hierarchical approach to classification, grouping organisms solely based on their shared derived characteristics, without considering other factors such as anatomy, physiology, or behavior.
