Within this folder, we learned how shared features are used to determine ancestry and relatedness.

Cladograms are used to illustrate these evolutionary relationships.

We mapped several shared inherited features of the vertebrate lineage onto the cladogram. This allowed us to see how different kinds of vertebrates are related to each other.

One important question to keep in mind is, which features are inherited from a common ancestor?
