“The natural system is based upon
descent with modification ..
the characters that naturalists
consider as showing
true affinity
(i.e. homologies) are those which
have been inherited from a common
parent, and, in so far as all true
classification is genealogical; that
community of descent is the
common bond that naturalists have
been seeking”

Darwin, Origin of species
1859 p. 413
