Species Relationships

Post by Kitsune »

Horrible title but cannot think of a better one.

I know that there has been some changes in what species are thought to be the closest relatives of other species. Many species closest relatives were originally decided using physical features. Now we have genetic DNA codes to determine this.

What I am wondering is are there any good books that anyone has read on this subject?
