Best Answer

An ancestor-descendent line; the sequence of ancestral taxa leading from some point in the ancestry through time to a specific taxon. For example, our complete phylogenetic line would include all taxa that are in the ancestry of both apes and humans as well as all taxa ancestral to modern humans from the time the human line split from the ape line.
