1 Pioneers of evolution Ernst Haeckel’s 1874 conceptualization of relatedness among species. Charles Darwin did sketch a similar kind of a tree like process in On the origin of species. Modern description is based on probabilistic models quantifying the process of changes in DNA over generations.

2 How many trees for n sequences?

3 The founding fathers Zuckerkandl, Pauling, Jukes, Kimura and Neyman...
What is neutral evolution? The founding fathers Zuckerkandl, Pauling, Jukes, Kimura and Neyman... ... neutral evolution refers to changes in DNA without implied phenotypic changes and phylogenetic models can capture the essential features of the process. Models+algorithms give us a time machine to see events in the past!
