Discuss the fact that classification systems were based originally on observable

features but that more recent approaches draw on a wider range of evidence to
clarify relationships between organisms, including molecular evidence. Early
classification systems simply used observable features to put organisms into
groups, but this is problematic because the fact that some organisms look similar
doesnt mean theyre closely related, e.g. sharks and whales look similar and live in
the sea, but sharks are fish and whales are mammals! Classification systems today
are based on more evidence, like: Molecular evidence protein and DNA similarities,
e.g. how its stored, closeness of bases. Anatomical Similarities in structure and
function of body parts Behavioural evidence Similarities in behavior and social

organization of organisms Compare and contrast the five kingdom and three domain
classification systems.
