Abstract
Biosystematics is in great flux today because of the plethora of genetic research which continually redefines how we perceive relationships between organisms. Despite the large amount of data being published, the challenge is having enough knowledge about genetics to draw conclusions regarding the biological history of organisms and their taxonomy. Consequently the biosystematics for most taxa is in great flux and not without controversy by practitioners in the field. Therefore, this preliminary paper is meant to produce a current summary of lizard systematics, as it is understood today. It is meant to lay a groundwork for creation systematics with the goal of estimating the number of baramins brought on the Ark. Based on the analyses of current molecular data, taxonomy, hybridization capability, and statistical baraminology of extant organisms, a tentative estimate of 43 extant non-snake, non-amphisbaenian lizard kinds were taken on board the Ark. It is hoped that this paper will encourage future research into creationist biosystematics.
