An excellent definition of phenetics, which . Emphasizing no particular mechanism of evolution, cladistics as a classification schema lies largely separate from much of the debate between those who favor natural selection and those who favor intelligent design. Methods of classification themselves had to evolve to survive. In fact phenetics is nothing more than Numerical Taxonomy (Sneath & Sokal, 1973), a topic that we have discussed in a previous blog (Phenetic "Natural" Classifications). San Francisco: W H Freeman; 1973:573. ( Taxonomy is a vicious profession.) .

The classification of Taxonomic units into various groups by numerical methods is called “Numerical Taxonomy”.

Numerical taxonomy (also called computer taxonomy, phenetics, or taxometrics) became widely used in the 1960s. Phenetics attempts to classify organisms based on over-all similarity.
