https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_(phylogenetics) presents basal as if some contemporary tips are closer to the root than others. Revise to indicate that basal means closer to the base of the tree (i.e., ancestors near the root). Not to be conflated with sister groups.

The link to diversification in the basal page goes to speciation. diversification != speciation
