The more closely related two different organisms are, the
more recently they shared a common ancestor
their ancestors adapted to live in similar enironments
Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species
Well-adapted individuals leave more offspring, and thus contribute more to the next generation's gene pool
feed on a variety of different plants
mutation; diversity
artificial selection (selective breeding)
adaptation
