NOMENCLATURE Apobaramin – a group of known organisms that are discontinuous with all other known organisms, and may be divided internal by discontinuity. Archaebaramin – the originally created ancestors in a created kind Holobaramin – the group of all known organisms that show continuity within, but are discontinuous with any other group. In theory this means all known members from a single created kind. Monobaramin – a group of known organisms that shares continuity, and may or may not be separated from other known organisms by discontinuity.
