An update of George Gaylord Simpson's 1945 classification of mammals to a somewhat more rigorous phylogenetic system, with morphological distance considered on the basis of genealogical framework. Construction of the hierarchical system is based on hypothesis of common ancestry and tree-like phylogenetic branching, founded on cladistic principles of phylogenetic analysis. Includes material on the history and theory of classification, and appendices of Article 56 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, mammaliaform and mammalian characters, some close mammalian groupings, and taxonomic suffixes denoting rank. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
