Today's classification called Cladism is based on the Neo Darwinian theory of evolution descent with modification.

Explanation:

Organisms are classified according to their supposed ancestral relationships. Organisms with more similar characteristics are considered to be more closely related.

Classification was developed as a means of studying animals and plants long before the theories of evolution were developed.
