Haeckel or Hennig? The Gordian Knot of Characters, Development, and Procedures in Phylogeny.
Dupuis, Claude
Human Development, v27 n5-6 p262-67 Sep-Dec 1984
Discusses the conditions for validating customary phylogenetic procedures. Concludes that the requisites of homogeneity and completeness for proved short lineages seem satisfied by the Hennigian but not the Haeckelian procedure. The epistemological antinomy of the two procedures is emphasized for the first time. (Author/RH)
