>>  It came as news to me. There is an alternative to the Linnaean
>> Classification system we use. It's called PhyloCode. There's a good
>article about it in the April 2005 issue of*** Discover* magazine. The
>Linnaean system predates Darwinian theory and reflects Linnaeus'
>"arrangement" of the Divine's order of the universe into Phylum, Class,
etc.
>based upon common traits. It does not reflect evolutionary ancestry. The
>PhyloCode classifies
>species by evolutionary ancestry and advocates critisize the Linnaean
system
>as "creationist" and out of step with "the evolutionary worldview."
>> Take a look at the article. Comments?
