Systematics.
Systematics is like taxonomy (it deals with classifying organisms) but places primary emphasis on reconstructing and representing their evolutionary relationships. (By contrast, phylogeny is the actual evolutionary history, cladistics is a method for inferring phylogenies, and baraminology is a creationist classification approach.)
