Willi Hennig (1913-76), founder of phylogenetic systematics,
revolutionised our understanding of the relationships among species
and their natural classification. An expert on Diptera and fossil
insects, Hennig's ideas were applicable to all organisms. He wrote
about the science of taxonomy or systematics, refining and
promoting discussion of the precise meaning of the term
'relationship', the nature of systematic evidence, and how those
matters impinge on a precise understanding of monophyly, paraphyly,
and polyphyly. Hennig's contributions are relevant today and are a
platform for the future. This book focuses on the intellectual
aspects of Hennig's work and gives dimension to the future of the
subject in relation to Hennig's foundational contributions to the
field of phylogenetic systematics. Suitable for graduate students
and academic researchers, this book will also appeal to
philosophers and historians interested in the legacy of Willi
Hennig.
