• Introduction to Cladistics -- This UCMP WWW discussion of phylogenetics presents many of the same ideas in a slightly different way. If you're confused, more basic introduction might be helpful.
• The WWW pages on Computing Evolution: Phylogenetic Analysis (New York School of Medicine) and
• Introduction to Phylogenetic Systematics (Society of Australian Systematic Biologists) could also be of use for the eager phylogenetisist.
• Evolution: Theory and History -- UCMP WWW exhibit on the history of evolution.
