One additional concept that will likely be unfamiliar to many of you is that of crown vs.
stem groups. As their names imply, crown groups are clustered toward the tips of a
phylogeny, while stem groups are clustered toward the bottom of a phylogeny. This is a
general pattern and not a fixed and precise rule, however, as both extinct and extant
groups can be part of the "crown" group. The deciding factor that determines the
delineations of a crown vs. stem group is whether the synapomorphies that define the
group under examination are present. For example, you could have a whole cluster of
mammals, some of which are extinct, but all of which show all of the characteristics
currently used to define mammals. In this case, any extinct groups that show all
mammalian features would be classed as crown mammals. In contrast, any extinct
groups that branch off on the way to mammals, but did not possess all mammalian
