|
To what extent can we reconstruct the past?
|
The tree in (a full) shows the complete phylogeny of a hypothetical lineage, and the tree in (b only a 3 %) shows the same phylogeny when only a small percentage of the fossil species have been discovered. The red lines show the species that have been discovered, and the gray lines show the missing species. Note that all living species are known, but only 3% of the fossil species have been discovered. (cweeeeird one) The tree we would have to infer from the incomplete data at hand differs from the actual tree in two respects: 1) it links each species to its closest known ancestor, which often means assigning inappropriate ancestors to fossil and modern species; and 2) it frequently underestimates the age of the oldest member of a clade.
