Michael P. Cummings, Scott A. Handley and Naiara Rodriquez-Ezpeleta Co-Directors

The Workshop consists of a series of lectures, demonstrations and computer laboratories that cover various aspects of molecular evolution. Faculty are chosen exclusively for their effectiveness in teaching theory and practice in molecular evolution. Included among the faculty are developers and other experts in the use of computer programs and packages such as BLAST, BEAST, Clustal W and Clustal X, FASTA, FigTree, Genealogical Sorting Index, GARLI, LAMARC, MAFFT, Migrate-N, MrBayes, PAML, PAUP*, and SeaView who provide demonstrations and consultations.

Abstract
Theodosius Dobznahnsky said nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution. Nothing in evolution makes sense except in the light of the historical emergence of species. Species are the biological “children of time.” If we seek to understand them, historical narratives are essential elements of our causal explanations. Phylogenetic systematic analysis provides the Rosetta Stone for uncovering that narrative.
