Are species with similar evolutionary histories not classified together?

Species with similar evolutionary histories are often classified together in a system known as phylogenetics, which groups organisms based on common ancestry. However, classification can be influenced by various factors, such as morphological characteristics, genetic differences, and ecological niches, leading to some related species being placed in different categories. Additionally, convergent evolution, where unrelated species develop similar traits, can further complicate classification. Therefore, while similar evolutionary histories often lead to similar classifications, they are not the sole determining factor.
