To distinguish:
A particular clade of mammalian within the larger clade that corresponds to class mammalia and would hair be a useful character.
Introduction:
The group of organisms that share common ancestor and all descendants with representation of a single branch on phylogenetic treeis known as clade. This approach over the few years has revolutionized the classification of biology and evolutionary relationships between organisms.
