phylogenetic algorithms for the analysis of large sets of
genetic data has a long tradition in biology. Only in the recent
past, methods developed in this context have been gaining
importance also in the humanities. In a a variety of
disciplines, including linguistics, literary studies,
anthropology and others, they have been used for the
visualisation and analysis of diverse data sets such as
comparative word lists, translated texts, manuscript traditions
and other types of cultural artefacts (see below for
references). However, these methods are seldom compared from a
interdisciplinary, methodological perspective in the humanities.
