To build a phylogeny .... makes sense only if we start from the theory of evolution.
The theory of evolution is not standing on genetics! But in comparisons, fossiles and anatomy.
On the contrary ... historically genetic leaned on the theory of evolution.
So is a serious epistemological error ... give privilege to Molecular Systematics to the detriment
of safe anatomical, biogeographic, physiological and ecological analyzes.
Built on solid foundations. Which maintain their consistency with each new discovery.
Those who follow the Molecular Systematics know it's a "new wave" and still aimlessly.
These phylogenies have no stability. Just see ! Neither are true phylogenies!
The molecular clock alone can only say that one time period is twice as long as another:
it cannot assign concrete dates. To achieve this, the molecular clock must first be calibrated
against independent evidence about dates, such as the fossil record. Benton, M. J. and
Donoghue, P. C. J. (200t). "Paleontological evidence to date the Tree of Life".
Molecular Biology & Evolution 24 (1): 26–53. WIKI
Besides this...mutation and selection are very different things.
This is another error in the use of this type of data.
