Velasco	The Future of Systematics: Tree Thinking without the Tree	2012	14	.pdf	application/pdf	5754	528	67	Phylogenetic trees are meant to represent the genealogical history of life and apparently our common tendencies toward group (class/kind) thinking and ladder thinkTo contact the author, please write to: California Institute of Technology, Division of Huanities and Social Sciences, MC 101-40, Pasadena, CA 91101; e-mail: joel@joelvelasco.net. knowing the history of the group, the phylogenetic tree is the essential background information needed to get started answering such a question. subtrees of the big, universal tree of life, which represents how all species are Web of life that represents the history of lineages when we take into account various lateral transfers of genetic information as well as vertical reproduction. some uses of trees, these details are simply ignored as irrelevant to the problem at hand. example, tree models assume that once a lineage splits from another, changes But after reflecting on the fact that trees and networks are simply models of the history, new possibilities are opened up.	./cache/work_44hg474jefe4bi7nqba4l5f7sy.pdf	./txt/work_44hg474jefe4bi7nqba4l5f7sy.txt
