EVOLUTION CONNECTION Darwin suggested looking at a species close relatives to learn what its ancestors may have been bike. How does his suggestion anticipate recent methods such as phylogenetic bracketing and the use of outgroups in cladistic analysis? Match the terms in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Not all terms will be used. Reset Help parsimony ancestral Darwin's suggestion anticipates phylogenetic bracketing. a method based on that uses characteristics of organisms in a clade to make predictions about the common ancestor of the clade and all of its descendants shared likelihood His suggestion is also similar to how outgroups are used to help differentiate between characters (present in the outgroup) and characters (new features that originated with derived the ingroup)
