Design and Nested Hierarchies

Start with Lisa as the common ancestor to the next computer and the original Mac.

That’s not how it works. The node that connects species is a list of shared derived characteristics. The node is not a species itself. Look at the tree I gave you. All of the species are at the tips of the tree, not at the nodes.

Next computer and the Mac gave rise to iOS Desk Mac and the iOS laptop Macs and all the versions at different price points. This may not be exactly like a living hierarchy but it shows that design creates a hierarchal structure.

You don’t list any shared derived characteristics.
