Common Ancestor
• A common ancestor is the ancestor of two or more species.
• Shared derived characteristics are traits that species inherited from a common ancestor.

Classification
Phylogenetics tries to trace the origins and ancestry of various type or organisms.

Binomial Nomeclature
• All organisms are given a binomial (two-name) designation. This includes their genus and species.
• Homo sapiens = Humans
• Felis catus = House cat

Animals
• Animals are the Kingdom of organisms that:
• Are multi-cellular
• Are independently mobile
• Have sense organs
• Eat food (as apposed to photosynthesize).

Evolution
• Evolution is change in allele frequencies in populations over time.
• Evolution occurs through mutation, natural selection, gene flow and genetic drift.

Primate Evolution
Primates emerged around 58 million years ago and can be divided into a number of families.

Chimpanzees
• Of all extant primates, we share the most similarities genetically with chimps.
• Our DNA sequences are more than 98% identical with those of chimps.
