Extract

This paper is based on my M.Sc. dissertation: ‘The Origins of Numerical Taxonomy’ 1985, submitted to the University of Leicester during the tenure of a D.E.S. State Studentship. For this work I drew extensively on interviews with Professors A. J. Cain, G. A. Harrison, R. R. Sokal and P. H. A. Sneath. I am very grateful to them for their time, interest and encouragement. Without the indefatigable assistance of Jon Harwood, this paper would never have been finished.

The scope of this paper has, deliberately, been kept narrow, to enable a detailed examination of the founding of the numerical taxonomy position, achieved by these three groups. There is, of course, a much wider background of earlier attempts at a ‘quantitative taxonomy’, parallel developments in other fields, and taxonomy generally, in the twentieth century, which is cursorily summarized here. The background is considered in much greater depth in my Ph.D.thesis. In that work I also follow the subsequent development of numerical taxonomy and some of the controversies which surrounded its earlier history.

Eugen.

Sokal especially made use of standard statistical procedures and adopted them to biological classification; later numerical taxonomists devised completely new methods.
