Contemporary life reflects past occurrences of speciation and macroevolution.  The search for the evolutionary relationships among diverse  organisms includes taxonomy, the identification and classification of species.

Biodiversity is an important aspect of our lives. It encompasses the vast many  organisms that share the Earth.  Interaction among species occurs much more often than we observe.  We must be aware of the importance of actions and the environmental impacts human beings have on other organisms.
