About this book

Language: French

Modern classification, known as phylogenetics, is based on the search for relationships between species, thus fulfilling Darwin's old wish that any natural classification must reflect a genealogy.

Similar to volume 1 (4th edition published in 2016), to which this is the essential complement, volume 2 of Classification Phylogénétique du Vivant is a foray into the tree of life. This 4th edition has been completely revised to take into account the most recent discoveries.

The organization of the work is the same in the 2 volumes: each branch of the tree is a group comprising a hypothetical ancestor and all its descendants. For each group, you will find the arguments of the classification (the evolutionary innovations bequeathed by its ancestor) and much other information (number of species, oldest known fossil of the group, etc.).

Summary in French:
La classification moderne, dite phylogénétique, est fondée sur la recherche de parentés entre espèces, exauçant ainsi le voeu ancien de Darwin que toute classification naturelle doit refléter une généalogie.

Comme le tome 1 (4e édition publiée en 2016), dont il est le complément indispensable, ce tome 2 de la Classification Phylogénétique du Vivant est une incursion dans l’arbre de la vie. Cette 4e édition a été entièrement remaniée pour tenir compte des découvertes les plus récentes.

L’organisation de l’ouvrage est la même dans les 2 tomes : chaque branche de l’arbre est un groupe comprenant un ancêtre hypothétique et tous ses descendants. On trouvera pour chaque groupe les arguments de la classification (les innovations évolutives léguées par son ancêtre) et bien d’autres renseignements (nombre d’espèces, plus ancien fossile connu du groupe, etc.).
