Jim Griesemer Clearly. I m with you there. But in order to make an ultimate explanation out of this, you appeal to the cladistic relationship of the taxa. And the assumptions that go into constructing the cladograms strike me as a how-possibly explanation. 

Jim Griesemer Because you have to make assumptions about the process of evolution to construct a genealogy out of cladistic data to argue that these... 

David Hull The story that you tell from your own experience with socio-biology and later evolutionary psychology is commonplace in science. Science does not always supply a warm, supportive environmental for scientists. I wrote a very long book dealing with how the rise of cladistic analysis would kill it.

The most commonly used techniques for estimating trees for sequences may be grouped into three categories (1) distance methods, (2) maximum parsimony, and (3) maximum likelihood based methods. There are other methods but they are not widely used. Further, each of these categories covers many variations and even distinct methods with different properties and assumptions. These methods have often been divided different ways (different from the three categories here) such as cladistic versus phenetic, character-based versus non-character-based, method-based versus criterion-based, and others. These divisions may merely reflect particular predjudices by the person making them and can be artificial.
