Evolutionary analysis of organisms

Explanation:

Some organisms, which were characterized together determined to genetically very different. Using the analysis of RNA developed by Carl Woese, scientists are now able to classify the human evolution living things based on genetic information instead of expressed characteristics. Genetic information is more specific and can give clues as to the evolutionary ancestry of organisms. That is the reason adding of various domains in previous system of classification is allowed for a comparison of species genetic code
