phylogenetic
This term is used almost exclusively within scientific and academic registers, specifically in biology, genetics, and anthropology. It describes the study of evolutionary lineages and the branching patterns of species over time, often visualized as a tree. It is a technical descriptor rather than a general-purpose word.
While it shares a root with "genetic," it differs by focusing on the evolutionary history of a whole group or species (phylo-) rather than the inheritance of traits within a single individual or family line. It is typically paired with nouns like "tree," "analysis," or "relationship" to specify the method or result of evolutionary mapping.
