rief History arwin Phylogenetics and arwin In 1837, shortly after his famous five-year voyage as naturalist on the eagle, arwin sketched a tree diagram in one of his notebooks. This simple sketch is remarkably similar to modern diagrams of phylogenies. In addition, the sole figure in The Origin of Species (1859) is a phylogeny.

rief History Uses of Phylogenies Why is Phylogenetics Important? It is an exaggeration to say phylogenetics are everywhere, but phylogenetic trees are used in many areas of biology beyond the obvious area of systematics. Other areas include forensics and developmental biology. rom a statistical point of view, the evolutionary history of organisms means that species should not be treated as independent samples. ven if evolutionary relationships are not of primary interest, a good statistical analysis might need to account for the phylogeny to explain some part of the dependence among observations from different species.

Neighbor-joining phylogram representing the reconstruction of the phylogenetic relationships between the env (2-V5) sequences obtained from the index case (31-44), the alleged recipient (22-29), three local controls (L45 and L48; L46 and L47; and L49 and L50) and 48 sequences chosen from Genank. Ten iterations of random sequence addition were used. Scale bar represents 10% genetic distance. ootstrap values are shown at nodes with greater than 70% support.
