| When phylogenetic taxonomy became a serious matter of debate among biologists from the seventeens century onwards, none of the scientists involved with taxonomy at that time would ever have looked at mathematics as a science that could help to deal with their problems. Yet already Darwin, in his second large book on evolutionary theory entitled \The descent of man", and \Selection in relation to sex" published 12 years after his groundbreaking work on \The origin of species", explicitly addressed already many basic problems of taxonomy we need to face still today problems that we now try to cope with using all sorts of tools from mathematics and computer science. In this slender booklet, combining contributions by Martin Haase, Karl-Ernst Biebler and Bern Jäger, Dietmar Cieslik and Andreas Dress, various aspects relating to the current phylogenetic debate, 42 years after the birth of computational phylogenetics, are being discussed. | |
