the cladistic approach developed for a reason

you know, two organisms might look similar at first, but what's often more important is the set of internal features, such as biochemistry, tolerance of toxins, etc.

if you take all these internal features, you find that they're well-preserved within evolutionary groups; but not within groups that merely look alike
