Abstract
The reconstruction of phylogenies is an important problem in biological systematics since Darwin recognized natural selection as scientific cause of biological evolution. Since the early beginnings, cp. Haeckel’s rule of ‘recapitulation of phylogeny in ontogeny’, a main problem in the reconstruction of phylogenies has been to measure homology, i.e. the natural similarity of species given by common ancestors and not a similarity given by adaptation to a common environment.
