DESCRIPTION:Fifty years ago\, advances in computing and increasing amounts
  of genetic data led to new methods for constructing phylogenetic trees. I
 nitially they were algorithmic\, like 'minimum evolution' but soon model-b
 ased like 'maximum likelihood'. First applied to human gene-frequency data
 \, the methods were adopted for other genetic data and ultimately for DNA 
 sequences themselves.
