Are phylogenetic patterns the same in anthropology and biology?

2014-06-24

Abstract excerpt

The use of phylogenetic methods in anthropological fields such as archaeology, linguistics and stemmatology (involving what are often called “culture data”) is based on an analogy between human cultural evolution and biological evolution. We need to understand this analogy thoroughly, including how well anthropology data fit the model of a phylogenetic tree, as used in biology. I provide a direct comparison of ant...
