Editor's Notes
- When confronted with an unidentified species, scientists look at classification keys which give hints to help provide a name for it. Species in the same group usually share characteristics since they have descended from a common ancestor. Classification can be used to predict how they evolved. If several species in a group share a characteristic, another species in the group will probably share that characteristic.
