Abstract

The paper considers some general principles of different methods of phylogeny reconstruction. It demonstrates historical relationships between such approaches as intuitive Haeckel’s phylogenetics, Hennig’s hand cladistics, method of maximum parsimony, method of maximum likelihood, Bayesian inference and distance methods. The advantages and shortcomings of these methods are briefly discussed.

Key words

Bayesian Inference, Haeckel’s phylogenetics, genetic distances, Hennig’s cladistics, method of maximum parsimony, method of maximum likelihood, model of evolution, character, phylogenesis, phylogenetic analysis
