Although well known in the mid 19th century, the geologist Edward Hitchcock has been forgotten as an early, if not the first author to publish a paleontologically based “tree of life” beginning in 1840 in the first edition of his popular general geology text Elementary Geology.

Organic Evolution in Deep Time: Charles Darwin and the Fossil Record

Abstract The heart and soul of geology are to be found in rock relationships and earth history. The fossil record was central and critical to geology emerging as geohistory, the first historical…

Darwin and the Tree of Life: the roots of the evolutionary tree

To account for the Tree of Life, simultaneously genealogical and cosmological, this work must explore the particular context in which Darwin declared the natural order to be analogous to a pedigree, and in which he communicated this vision by recourse to a tree.

Trees and networks before and after Darwin

Starting in the early 1960s trees were inferred from protein and nucleic acid sequences, but networks were re-introduced in the mid-1990s to represent lateral genetic transfer, increasingly regarded as a fundamental mode of evolution at least for bacteria and archaea.

It will be demonstrated that tree diagrams as the authors know them are the outgrowth of ancient philosophical attempts to find the “true order” of the world, and to map the world “as it is” (ontologically), according to its true essence.

The meaning of absence: the primate tree that did not make it into Darwin's The Descent of Man

It is argued that considering the tree's inherent teleology, as well as its power to suggest species status of human populations and to reify ‘racial’ hierarchies, the absence of the diagram in The Descent of Man may be a significant statement.

Prokaryotic evolution and the tree of life are two different things

This article sets out alternative models to the tree of life to study prokaryote-eukaryote evolution, surmising that phylogeny opted for a single model as a holdover from the Modern Synthesis of evolution.

The tree as evolutionary icon: TREE in the Natural History Museum, London.

The apparent incongruity between Darwin's sketch and the artist's design of TREE is emphasised, to consolidate two sometimes conflicting strains within the Museum's history.

Darwin's two competing phylogenetic trees: marsupials as ancestors or sister taxa?

Two competing phylogenetic diagrams on the origin of marsupials and placentals were outlined by Charles Darwin in a letter to Charles Lyell dated 23 September 1860 and are published here for the first time.

The tree of life: introduction to an evolutionary debate

This special issue examines scientific, historical and philosophical aspects of debates about the Tree of Life, with the aim of turning these criticisms towards a reconstruction of prokaryote phylogeny and even some aspects of the standard evolutionary understanding of eukaryotes.

The opportunity now exists for systematists to contribute to the theory and practice of linguistics and stemmatics, their sister disciplines in historical reconstruction, through application of the authors' commonly used computer programs for tree estimation.

H. G. Bronn and the History of Nature

This analysis of Bronn’s writings shows that far from being mired in an outmoded idealism that confined organic change to predetermined developmental pathways, Bronn had worked throughout the 1840s and 1850s on a new, historical approach to life.

The roots of phylogeny: how did Haeckel build his trees?

Haeckel created much of the authors' current vocabulary in evolutionary biology, such as the term phylogeny, which is currently used to designate trees, but a detailed analysis of Haeckel's own evolutionary vocabulary and theory revealed that he was mainly influenced by Lamarck and Goethe in his approach to tree reconstruction.
