Abstract
There is only one objective reference for mastering the diversity which exists in Nature - the kinship relations between species and descent communities which were created during phylogenesis through the splitting of biopopulations. They form the only Principium divisionis for an epis- temologically flawless representation of the phylogenetic order in Nature. This also means that there can be only one system of organisms - the phylogenetic system.
