'''Common descent''' is an idea in [[Biology]] which is applied on two levels, with a [[clad]] (group of species) being said to share a recent common ancestor, or the broader conjecture which asserts that all organisms on earth originated from common ancestors. The idea of common descent is usually associated with Darwin's [[Theory of Evolution]].
