'''Phylogenetics''' is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among individuals or groups of organisms. These relationships are discovered through phylogenetic inference methods that evaluate observed heritable traits.

== History ==
The term "phylogenetics" comes from the Greek words "phyle/phylon" meaning "tribe/race" and "genetikos" meaning "relative to birth". The concept of phylogenetics was first introduced by [[Ernst Haeckel]] in 1866, but the practice of classifying organisms has been around since [[Carl Linnaeus]] in the 18th century.

== Methodology ==
Phylogenetics uses various types of [[analytical methods]] to evaluate observable heritable traits, most commonly [[DNA sequences]], but also other types of data such as [[morphological data]], [[immunological data]], [[genetic distance data]] and [[biochemical data]].

== Phylogenetic Trees ==
A common method for depicting the results of these analyses is a phylogenetic tree. Phylogenetic trees are diagrams that depict the evolutionary relationships among a set of organisms or groups of organisms, called [[taxa]].

== Applications ==
Phylogenetics is used in the field of [[molecular biology]], [[evolutionary biology]], [[ecology]], [[epidemiology]], and [[biogeography]].
