The authors stress the importance of understanding the past to make sense of the future. They present a general assessment of comparative biology's recent past and how it has matured and blossomed. Exploring the full impact of the cladistics revolution, a phenomenon that has yet to be fully appreciated, the book provides a platform for further debate and discussion.Williams, David M. is the author of 'Milestones in Systematics' with ISBN 9780415280327 and ISBN 041528032X.
