The goal of the field of phylogenetics has been to provide knowledge about the evolution of living organisms ever since Charles Darwin proposed that the "natural system" should be represented as a genealogical tree that will reflect the evolution of organisms and Haeckel created the first tree of life and coined the term "phylogeny." This objective has been the constant focus of Phylogenetics' development for more than a century. Early attempts to recreate trees relied on comparing phenotypes, notably morphological traits. It was suggested in 1904 that molecular data would offer a more mathematical method of determining the evolution of organisms than phenotypic traits.
