A process in which species from different evolutionary branches may come to resemble each other if they live in similar environments and natural selection favored similar adaptions.. Animal-Like Protists:. The Protozoa. Evolutionary Perspective of the Protists. The protists are a polyphyletic group that arose about 1.5 billion years ago when the Archaea and Eukarya diverged..

What Is Phylogeny?. Phylogeny is the study of relationships among different groups of organisms and their evolutionary development. Phylogeny attempts to trace the evolutionary history of all life on the planet. It is based on the phylogenetic hypothesis that all living organisms share a common ancestry. The relationships among organisms are depicted in what is known as a phylogenetic tree. Relationships are determined by shared characteristics, as indicated through the comparison of genetic and anatomical similarities.. Nasser Ben Qasem . 503-Biology . WIU .
