How are the areas of study – evolution and classification – interlinked?

Explanation

The classification of organigisms is a reflection of their evolutionary relationships. Classification is based on similarities and differences amongst organisms :
(i) The more characteristics two organisms have in common, the more closely they are related. And the more closely they are related, the more recently they will had a common ancestor in the evolutionary chain.
(ii) The more different characterisics two organisms have, the more remote past.
