A taxonomist is a scientist who names newly discovered organisms such as a species of animal. this is part of the classification process which can be done through different knowledge keys, such as a tabular key, a dichotomous key, or a circular key. Classification is used by scientists in their attempts to organise and understand the world.
Scientists study things like if an animal has hair, if it is warm blooded, and what kind of feet it has. All of these observations can be made by simply observing the animal so it doesn't take long for an organism to get placed in a class.
There are four main ways that taxonomists investigate evolutionary relationships between organisms, the fossil record, biogeography, homologies, and direct observation and experiments.
They use the fossil record mostly by appearance. They compare the skeletal structures of the proposed ancestral species and the species they think might be the descendant of the species. In rare occasions they can also compare slight traces of DNA between the organisms.
A perfect example of biogeography is the Gallapagos finches that Darwin discovered. Biogeography basically accounts for the the distribution of species.
Homologies are split into two sub categories; comparative anatomy and molecular comparison. Comparative anatomy reveal some embryological development and can show that although modern forms have different functions they could have evolved from a common ancestor.
Direct observation and experiments are just conducting experiments based on hypothesis.
Taxonomists try to identify evolutionary relationships between new organisms and old organisms, sometimes they can and sometimes they can't. Some taxonomists also classify, describe and name new organisms.
Taxonomists identify organisms. Identification is often useful in environmental studies.
So they can reconstruct the evolution of a species
Taxonomists classify things, especially organisms. Their job is to put organisms in their correct area.
Finances
They do not compare homologous chromosomes.
They use genic similarities and physical similarities between animals to put them in the same "categories".
Taxonomy- branch of biology that groups and names organisms based on studies of their shared characteristics; biologists who study taxonomy are called taxonomists.
they basicly ballpark it , aka they make educated guesses and use trial and error as a learnig utencil
i belive that an embryological relationship involves comparing the embryo with other animals that share the same habitat (i.e deserts, oceans, forests) to help taxonomists classify organisms

They are taxonomists.
they are really explain: taxonomists is from bilogy
Taxonomists
Taxonomists study the new animals well before classifying them. They put them in groups under animals that are rather similar to them.
Physical form and habitat.
They classify them from classification.
The first taxonomist is Adam.
A scientist who studies classification is called a taxonomist. Taxonomists examine the relationships among different organisms and group them into categories based on similarities and differences.
Taxonomists classify organisms into groups based on shared characteristics, name newly discovered species, and revise classification systems as new information becomes available.
