New Sentences
Although there are algorithmic approaches to identify the outgroups with maximum global parsimony, they are often limited by failing to reflect the continuous, quantitative nature of certain character states.

(goes after first paragraph of "choice of outgroup section")

Character states are traits, either primitive or derived, that affect the construction of branching patterns in a phylogenetic tree.

(this goes after the sentence above before the sentence that is currently there)

Modifications
An outgroup is a taxonomic group chosen such that its members are hypothesized to share some characteristics with the ingroup, but as a whole, the outgroup is less closely related to other groups in the phylogenetic tree.

(this goes at the end of the first paragraph, replacing the last sentence of the paragraph)

In each of the above examples, organisms are categorized into their respective ingroups based on having similar character states with each other in comparison to the outgroup.

(this goes below the chart in "examples" and replaces the sentence that was there)

Existing article outline
Proposed Changes
 * 1) Introduction
 * 2) “Choice of Outgroup”
 * 3) 2 characteristics to be satisfied
 * 4) Add links to
 * 5) Monophyletic Wikipedia Page
 * 6) Ingroup-->maybe put in a one sentence description since no page to link to?
 * 7) Clade definition (already linked to article)
 * 8) Add (Technology)
 * 9) “Examples”
 * 10) Explanation of Examples lacking (add explanation?)
 * 11) Character states (definition/link to relevant article--if this exists?)
 * 1) Character states (definition/link to relevant article--if this exists?)

Bases to Cover

 * 1) [NEW] Computerization of Outgroup Analysis
 * 2) [NEW] Outgroup Construction Methodology, Algorithms
 * 3) [MOD] Character states definition

Want to change

 * Add a link to ‘ingroup’ (or add definition to differentiate?)
 * Link to ‘monophyletic’ Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monophyly / explain what that is-
 * Explain what a clade is:
 * Defining “Character States”/making the sentence at the bottom of
