Folks,
Classification is a very artificial process. But it can be useful to understand the world.
Classification of nematodes involved the cutting the rear end off and pressing flat on a slide and looking at the patterns.
I often thought sitting humans on a copy machine and classifying by patterns would be a good idea.
Much better classification than skin color or head measurements.

So are you a “Lumper” or a “Splitter”?
