Did Darwin's theory of evolution change the method of classifying organisms?

Darwin's theory made it clear that ancestral relationships existed between species, and the use of these relationships became the overarching consideration of classification schemes. It wasn't until the "modern synthesis" of molecular Biology that we were able to resolve some conflicts inherent in classification schemes based solely on interpreted physiological relationships.
Linnaeus had made great strides in the design of the hierarchical taxonomy, and that taxonomy compellingly demonstrated the existence of evolutionary change.
