Heuristic: A quick, practical method that does not necessarily solve a given problem.

39 Modeling Speciations Researchers often assume that all internal nodes correspond to speciations, where one species splits into two.

40 Modeling Speciations Squirrel Monkey! Orangutan! Unrooted binary tree: every node has degree or 3. Chimpanzee! Bonobo! Baboon! Human! Gorilla!

41 Modeling Speciations Rooted binary tree: an unrooted binary tree with a root (of degree ) on one of its edges. Squirrel Monkey! Baboon! Orangutan! Gorilla! Chimpanzee! Bonobo! Human!
