Contiguity
A contiguity is a continuous mass, or a series of things in contact or in proximity, or the state of being such a mass or series.〔(Dictionary.com )〕 The concept was first set out in the Law of Contiguity (one of Aristotle's Laws of Association) which states that things that occur near each other in time or space are readily associated.
==Biology==
A cluster of genes which are close to one another at a chromosome locus are called ''contiguous.'' Contiguous gene disorders result from deletions or duplications of a chromosome segment that cause a contiguous gene imbalance.
Also, Contiguity refers to the way Taxonomy is ordered and formed after Charles Darwin wrote ''Theory of the Origins of Species'' in 1859. Before then, scientists used a more strict taxonomy based upon an organism's locomotion and mobility. Now science bases taxonomy on contiguity, tracking changes in an organism's anatomy over eons to show contiguous shaping over time.
