A classification is given of primitive ℵ 0 ‐categorical structures which are smoothly approximated by a chain of finite homogeneous substructures. The proof uses the classification of finite simple groups and some representation theory. The main theorems give information about a class of structures more general than the ℵ 0 ‐categorical, ω‐stable structures examined by Cherlin, Harrington, and Lachlan.
